Before you can add any money to your account, you’ll need to have your bank details added to the Octopus Money system and they'll need to be verified. How do I verify my bank details?
It's also worth bearing in mind the rules of the account you are depositing into.
In particular your ISA allowance and your Pension Annual Allowance.
Once you're verified, you can add money to your ISA, GIA or SIPP via bank transfer or set up a direct debit for regular, automated deposits.
See here for our guide on How to set up a regular Direct Debit.
