Funding My Account

Is there a minimum investment?

Yes, there is a minimum application amount of $5. We want to make saving accessible to everyone!  

I recently changed banks - can I change my funding account?

If you want to change your bank account details contact us anytime at blossom@blossomapp.com and we’ll help you kick off the process.

How long does it take to transfer funds into my Blossom account?

It will generally take 2-3 business days for funds transferred via direct debit to reach your Blossom account. These funds will appear as “pending” in your account until they arrive and cannot be dishonoured or clawed back. Funds transferred via PayID will arrive instantly.

Is there a maximum amount I can transfer via PayID?

The maximum amount you will be able to transfer via PayID will be dependent on your bank’s ‘Pay Anyone’ limit. The maximum investment amount per customer is $10,000,000.

Why has my direct debit request failed?

Your direct debit request may have failed because of one of the reasons below:

  • Your bank account doesn’t allow for direct debits. This usually happens if you have tried to link an online-only savings account.
  • There were insufficient funds in your bank at the time of the direct debit.
  • There was an error in the bank account details provided. Visiting the ‘Settings’ section of the web, iOS or Android app will allow you to update your information.

Once you have checked your bank details are correct and there are sufficient funds in your account, you can go to the Blossom web, iOS or Android app to make a new direct debit request.

Can someone else send funds to my Blossom account?

No, funds must be sent from a bank account in your name only.

How do I fund my Blossom account?

You can fund your Blossom account through PayID or Direct Debit. Go to Transfers > Add Funds in your Blossom app or on the web. With PayID, your funds will reach your account instantly. Please note, you will have a different PayID for Blossom Save and Blossom Plus - make sure you copy the correct one for your transfer.  

Is there a maximum investment?

The maximum investment amount per customer is $10,000,000.00.
