Can I fund my account in different currencies?
You are able to fund your account in the following currencies, Sterling, Euros, Canadian Dollars and US Dollars.
By Debit Card
You can make a debit card payment online up to £100,000 using a Switch/Maestro or Visa/Delta card if you live in the UK. Login to your Computershare Sharedealing account and go to 'Payments & Transfers/Money in'. We are unable to accept payments made by credit card.

After you make a payment it will be shown on your 'Account History' immediately. In some cases your trading limit may only be updated overnight, after you have made a payment.
If your trading limit does not update immediately and you wish to place a trade against a recent payment, please call us on 0870 7071606.

By Bank Transfer
If you have a Trading Account with Computershare Sharedealing you can fund your account by bank transfer. The details you will need to provide to your bank in order to make the transfer differ depending on the currency that you wish to transfer. You can find our bank details by logging into your account, going to Payments & Transfers and then Money In, and clicking the Help button.
Please note that it is not possible to fund your Trading ISA by Bank Transfer. To fund an ISA you can send a cheque or pay by debit card.
Please note that all the money you send to your Trading Account (whether by Cheque, Debit Card or Bank Transfer) will be held by Computershare in a designated client money account. This means that the monies are maintained in a regulated environment (as set out by the Financial Services Authority), and are segregated from Computershare's own money and protected in the event of Computershare's default.
