You can add a bank account for ACH bank transfers, wire transfers, or both. You'll need to set up each method separately, even if you're using the same account.
Note: Okcoin must be licensed in your region in order to add a bank account. Check our list of licenses for more info.

Selecting a transfer method
Add an account for ACH bank transfers
From the "Select transfer method" menu, choose "Bank account."
You'll be asked to connect your bank account using Plaid, a secure platform to help link your bank to Okcoin. If Plaid doesn't work, we'll prompt you to try using Yodlee, a platform similar to Plaid.

Note - The name you use for your bank account must match your Okcoin account. Otherwise, they can’t be linked.
Add an account for wire transfer withdrawals
You can add a wire transfer account in order to withdraw larger sums from your Okcoin account. You don't need to connect a wire account to make a deposit via wire transfer.
From the "Select transfer method" menu, choose "Wire transfer." For banks in the United States, you'll be asked to enter your account and routing number. For international banks, you'll need your account number, SWIFT code, and bank name.
Adding an account for wire transfer withdrawals
After you've added a bank account, you can deposit funds into your Okcoin account, and withdrawal funds from your Okcoin account to your bank.
Note - The name you use for your bank account must match your Okcoin account. Otherwise, they can’t be linked.
