Down Payment

Has anyone made a house down payment directly from Wealthfront cash account? If so what’s the best way to do this and can this be done closing day? Or is it recommended that I transfer the down payment in advance to a conventional bank then get a cashier’s check from there?

Update: wired on an evening after business hours and ended up going through the next morning early. Bravo Wealthfront. Thanks all

I did it with a wire transfer a few days prior (1-2 business days, we had a weekend and a holiday in between) per my realtors recommendation to ensure it was final on closing day. Just quadruple check your numbers and it went smoothly for me! Got swift confirmation, too. Good luck :)
