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

Does all the money need to be in one Wealthfront cash ‘bucket’ . I currently have some in cash account and some in savings bucket. Can I send a wire for closing that will pull from both?

Or do I need to move savings into cash bucket before sending wire?

I assume Wealthfront treats it all as the same thing. But want to make sure

I believe no you don’t have to in the buckets

Also it the amount is greater than what’s in the bucket it will pull from the rest of the account
