How do I set up Direct Deposit?

To set up Direct Deposit:

  1. Click the Settings icon.
  2. Click View your Direct Deposit info.
  3. Click Find your employer.
  4. 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.
  5. Follow the instructions to confirm your identity and enter your Direct Deposit information.

Here’s how to find your Direct Deposit information after enrollment:

  1. Click the Settings icon.
  2. Click View your Direct Deposit info.
  3. You’ll see your account and routing number here.

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.
