[US] Add a payroll funding account

Your payroll funding account is the bank account used to pay employees and independent contractors their wages and to pay your payroll taxes. Only one bank account can be connected as your payroll funding account at a time.

You must have a payroll funding account connected to be able to complete your payroll setup.

Your payroll funding account must be a business checking account. Personal or savings accounts will result in an error when trying to approve a payroll.

To add a payroll funding account:

  1. On the left-side menu, click Payroll > Payroll Dashboard.
  2. In the Business section, next to Funding Account, click Add account, then Okay, let’s go!
  3. Select a bank from the list or search for your bank in the search bar.
  4. Follow the prompts to connect your funding account.

If you can’t find your bank in the search bar, manually connect your bank account instead.
