Payroll - Manual Bank Verification Process


Payroll Manual Bank Verification Process


Bank account verification is a crucial security step before processing payroll. While instant verification is available for many banks, some accounts require manual verification through micro-deposits.


Understanding Micro-Deposits


Micro-deposits are small test transactions sent to verify bank account ownership. This verification is required before EasyTeam Payroll can process any withdrawals for payroll and tax payments.


When Is Verification Required?


Bank verification occurs during the payroll onboarding process, immediately after entering bank account details.


How Verification Works


The process involves three small transactions:

  • Two small deposits under $1 each


  • One withdrawal that removes the deposited amount


These transactions typically appear in your account within 3 business days.


Completing Verification


➡️ Wait for the deposits to appear in your bank account.


➡️ Return to your employer onboarding dashboard.


➡️ Enter the exact amount of each deposit.


Example: You received a deposit of $0.43 and $0.15 totaling $0.58 cent. Enter $0.43 in one box and $0.15 in the other and NOT the total deposit of $0.58.


💡 Once the amounts are correctly entered, your bank account will be verified automatically.


Alternative Verification Methods


If you encounter issues with micro-deposits, you can verify your account by providing:

  • A copy of your ID
  • A voided check from the account

Please reach out to our support team at payroll@easyteam.com if you face any issues with automatic or manual bank account verification.


For faster setup, check if your bank supports instant verification during the 'Connect your bank account' step of onboarding. Read more at [EasyTeam Payroll - Setting Up Your Payroll Account](/en/article/easyteam-payroll-setting-up-your-payroll-account-kgxhyt/)
