# External Financial Accounts
To move funds out of your Chariot account, you’ll need to link an external financial account—such as your organization’s bank account. This ensures that when you initiate a transfer, funds are delivered securely and directly.
### 🔐 Who Can Add an External Account?
Only the **Owner** of your Chariot account can add or remove external financial accounts. This restriction protects your organization’s funds and ensures secure money movement.
### 🧭 How to Add an External Account
1. Log in to your Chariot dashboard
2. Go to **Settings > General**
3. Click **“Add External Account”**
4. Enter your **account number**, **routing number**, and a **label or account name**
Once added, your external account will appear as a destination when transferring funds from your Chariot Deposit Account.

**All outgoing transfers initiated through Chariot will be sent to the linked external financial account.**
**Once you've moved the money, you will see incoming transfers to your linked external financial account appear as "ACH DEPOSIT {{NONPROFIT NAME}} - CHARIOT".**
{% endhint %}
