How do I set up Direct Deposit?
To set up Direct Deposit:
- Click the Settings icon.
- Click View your Direct Deposit info.
- Click Find your employer.
- Search for who pays you (your employer, government agency, or payroll provider). If you can’t find who pays you, copy your Direct Deposit numbers and give them to your Payer.
- Follow the instructions to confirm your identity and enter your Direct Deposit information.
Here’s how to find your Direct Deposit information after enrollment:
- Click the Settings icon.
- Click View your Direct Deposit info.
- You’ll see your account and routing number here.
Here’s how to access your transaction history:
- Go to your Activity.
- Select or search for your payment. You can also click Filters to narrow your search by status or transaction type.
Tips:
- Direct Deposit is only available for PayPal Balance accounts. It’s not currently available for Business accounts.
- Your Payer must be located in the US. The transaction will fail if it originates outside of the US.
- Your Payer may also ask you to fill out their own direct deposit form.
- Once you enroll in Direct Deposit, your Payer’s bank may try to verify your account using micro entries before initiating a deposit for security reasons. You may see two small credits, typically less than $1, and one offsetting debit entry denoted with an ACCTVERIFY description in your PayPal Balance account transaction history. You may be asked to manually enter these amounts on the Payer’s website.
