How to receive funds in your USA Virtual Account

Modified on Thu, 28 May at 7:39 PM

Your USA Virtual Account accepts two types of transfers from US bank accounts: ACH and Wire. Here is how each one works.

What does the sender need to transfer funds to you?

Regardless of the transfer type, share the following details from your USA Virtual Account with the sender:

  • Account holder name
  • Routing Number (ABA)
  • Account number
  • Bank name and address

Make sure the details are correct before sharing them — an error can cause the transfer to be rejected or returned.

ACH transfers

ACH transfers are the most common and affordable way to receive funds from a US bank account. You can receive them in two ways:

From your own US bank account

  • Maximum amount per transfer: $100,000 USD
  • Processing time: between 1 and up to 5 business days

Third-party transfers

  • Who can send? Any individual or business with a US bank account.
  • Maximum amount per transfer: $2,000 USD
  • Processing time: between 1 and up to 5 business days
  • Cost to sender: typically free or a small fee depending on their bank

Once credited, funds appear directly in your Airtm balance.

What can I do with the funds once they arrive?

With money in your Airtm account you can:

  • Convert it to your local currency via the Airtm P2P network or through our direct withdrawal options
  • Send it to other users
  • Withdraw it using your preferred payment method in your region
