Step 1: Sign In
Access the Circle Account Sign-in page in your browser. Insert your Circle credentials, your email address and password.
You will then be prompted to verify your login through a Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) method right after clicking the blue “Sign in” button. We recommend downloading the Google Authenticator or Okta application if you do not already have this on your phone. You can choose which MFA method you prefer via the dropdown menu next to the MFA icon right up top.
Step 2: Transferring money in
Upon login, navigate to the Fund Account button on the Home page and select “Wire Transfer,” and then “Continue.”
Step 3: Bank Account Information
Follow the steps below to add your bank account information:
Step 1 of 4: Choose the country where your bank is domiciled.
Step 2 of 4: Choose the Bank type: Signature Bank, Silvergate Bank, Other U.S. Bank.

Step 4 of 4: Insert the bank account holder’s name (this should be the business entity name) and address as shown on your bank statement.

Step 4: Authorize Bank Link through Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)
You will be prompted to enter your MFA code to authorize the new bank addition. Insert the code that appears on your chosen MFA method, Google Authenticator in this case. Once the code is inserted, your bank account will be linked to your Circle Account.
Step 5: Initiate a wire transfer
A successful wire transfer needs to be completed to verify your bank account.
A minimum deposit of USD$5.00 from your bank account is required to verify that the bank account is in your name and that you have control of the account. Contact your bank and request a wire transfer to Circle’s bank account and wire transfer confirmation details. In the event of any issues, the Circle team will better assist you with these details on hand.
Once reviewed and confirmed by Circle, your USD will be converted into USDC and your USDC balance will be available in your Circle Account. The wire wizard will guide you.
