Get Overnight Check Deposit Instructions

This request returns the mailing information for clients to mail paper checks to deposit into their taxable brokerage account or IRA by express mail services such as UPS, FedEx, and USPS Express Mail.

Please note our policies for acceptable checks.

Note: There are numerous restrictions related to deposits into different types of brokerage accounts based upon account and user characteristics (e.g., no contributions into a beneficiary IRA or any IRA when the account owner is over 70½ years old, etc.) which will be checked when sent through this API and or when the funds are received at Folio. Learn more in the Folio Institutional Help Center.
