I for one trade with lowtrades and they do not provide this service. I just sent this e-mail to lowtrades to see if they will consider this idea.
Dear Sir/ Madam
Is there a consideration to using EFT as a way to fund ones account in the near future? Others brokers such as sharebuilder, for example use this method for account funding or money withdrawals. EFT usually takes a day to clear.
It is a lot more convenient, secure and faster to transfer money from you checking account electronically, than to write a check and wait almost a week before the money is available for use or to pay the fee for wiring money.
I believe this service will greatly serve customers like myself and provide you with an edge on your competition. I, for one was looking for this service, besides the low commissions, before choosing you as my broker.
I hope that you will consider this option in the near future.
Sincerely,
A Customer of yours.
If you use lowtrades and would like to see this service, feel free to use and or ammend the letter and let them know that you also want to see this service.
Thanks

Do you have to wait 5 days after the money has been transferred before you can trade penny stocks like Ameritrade does?

I use Ameritrade, too. I EFT'd $ yesterday afternoon, and it was in my account early this morning. It's a beautiful thing. With my account, money is money. Ameritrade doesn't care if I'm trading pennies. I have a margin account. Candy, do you? Maybe that explains your limitations.

So, if you have a margin account and you EFT, you can trade pennies right away?! Daymn, that's not what they told me when I asked... bast@rds! LOL... Well, I know what I'm doing then....
