### Step 4: Add bank account

While onboarding, you can connect a bank account to your RLUSD. This is the initial bank account from which you can deposit funds to purchase Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin, and to receive funds when redeeming Ripple USD (RLUSD).

RLUSD lets you add additional bank accounts for a maximum of three, for purchasing RLUSD, and to designate one of these bank accounts as your *redemption account* that will receive funds when redeeming RLUSD to fiat USD currency. For more information see [Bank accounts](/products/stablecoin/user-interface/settings/bank-accounts).

This page only describes adding an initial bank account during onboarding.
