# What is an ACH transfer?

Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers are electronic money transfers, bank to brokerage, processed through the ACH Network. There is no fee associated with your Lime Trading account to establish this relationship or to transfer funds. The process is paperless — no lost checks, no postage charges. Please note that ACH relationships cannot be established for IRA accounts at this time.
