You can fund your new Charter One account with any of the options listed below:

• You can use your Visa or MasterCard to fund your new account. We will charge your credit card the amount you specify when your account is opened, often within 24 hours
• If you're already a Charter One customer, all we need is the account number of the checking account you want to use to fund your new account
• Alternatively, you can transfer funds from a checking account you have with another institution. You'll need the routing number, account number, and check number from a blank check to use this option. Note that a $25 minimum transfer applies when using this option
