# Depositing Funds

### Overview

To make investments through CTRLSuper, you must first fund your wallet. You can easily deposit funds directly from your linked bank account. Deposits are processed securely and typically take a short period to reflect in your available balance.

### Before You Begin

{% endhint %}

### Steps

1. **Initiate a Deposit**\
   On the Funding dashboard, click the **Deposit** button located under the balance display.

### What Happens Next

Once confirmed, you will see a success message indicating the deposit has been initiated.

The funds will immediately appear in your **Pending** balance on the Funding dashboard. Funds typically settle and move to your **Available Balance** within **1-2 business days**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Ensure your source bank account has sufficient funds to cover the transfer to avoid failed transactions or dishonour fees from your bank.
{% endhint %}
