No, FDIC insurance does not protect your account from unauthorized access. To keep your Toast Balance Account safe, we highly recommend that you set up 2-Step Verification on your Toast Account and always keep your account information with us up to date.
You can fund your account by transferring funds from an external account into your new Toast Balance Account using wire transfers or ACH. You may also fund your account by designating a percentage of your daily credit card sales to be automatically deposited to your Toast Balance Account.

Yes. You may fund your account at a later time.

There are no limits based upon the number of transfers you make, but there are limits on the total dollar amount of transactions made daily and monthly. Please see details in the Money Movement table below.
Auto Savings is the capability to set a percentage of your daily credit card sales to automatically divert and deposit into your Toast Balance Account. It’s a simple and powerful way to quickly build your balance. You can set and change the Auto Savings % by clicking on the % of Daily Sales on the Toast Balance Account dashboard underneath the Toast Balance Account number. It may take up to a day for Auto Savings to start working depending on your restaurant’s payment capture and daily deposit settings
No. Auto Savings is turned on at the business level, meaning the % of daily credit card sales you divert to your Toast Balance Account will be applied to your total daily credit card sales for all your restaurants combined.
There is no limit. The transfer will occur each day AFTER all other scheduled debits are withdrawn (e.g. Toast Capital repayments). If remaining funds after all scheduled debits are deducted equate to less than the percentage you set for your daily deposit transfer, all remaining funds will be swept to your Toast Balance Account effectively reducing the percentage of daily card sales diverted.
You must initiate a wire transfer from your Toast Balance Account dashboard (last option on the left navigation bar). Once you fill in the form, submit it and keep a copy handy. You can print the form or access it again from your dashboard by double clicking the pending wire transfer listed at the top of your transactions list. After the form is submitted, you will be prompted to schedule a phone review with a Toast representative who will verify your identity and the transfer details. This last step is for your protection, reducing the risk of fraud and the chance the funds are mistakenly sent to the wrong account. Once a wire is sent that you have authorized, it is not possible to get the funds back and you are responsible for any losses.
