## Before you begin.

**Note: Funding your account with a card or bank transfer has higher fraud filters than other regular card purchases**

(e.g. s**imilar to a cash advance w/o the cash advance fees).**

Therefore, your financial institution may require you to complete an additional step like verification via text message, email, or 3D verification.

Please ensure that your payment method information matches exactly your bank statement and your document or ID.

1. Go to Payment Menu > **Add Funds**
