Fund Go Account
Overview
You can fund your Go Account by depositing cryptocurrency and tokens, as well as fiat currency, into your Go Account. Depositing fiat currency into your Go Account requires a wire transfer from your whitelisted bank account to a BitGo bank account. Your bank may charge a wire-transfer fee. Contact your bank to learn more. If you created your testnet enterprise through the Developer Portal, your Go Account automatically includes test fiat. To request more, contact support@bitgo.com.
