Fund your account

Before submitting your first order, you need to fund your account. In Tango, you can fund free of charge via Automated Clearing House (ACH), wire transfer, or check. You may also use credit cards to fund your account, but there is a 3.5% associated fee with credit cards. Currently, only credit card funding is accessible using the API. Your Tango Customer Success manager (CSM) can provide instructions for using these funding methods.

Get an email receipt when registering your credit card

For the credit cards that are successfully registered after March 22, 2018, Tango sends credit card funding receipts to the primary email address included in the registration call as well as up to five additional specified contacts. A contact is defined by an emailAddress and fullName.

Contacts included with a successful registration call are reflected in the response. Contacts can also be retrieved at any time using GET {URI}/creditCards.
