Can the direct deposit for a contractor be split between 2 accounts?

You can use a free billing management app as the workaround to pay the second payment.

Thank you for raising your direct deposit concern here in the Community, director.

Splitting your contractor's direct deposit between two accounts is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). You can consider using a free billing management app as stated by @SIAB, or another contractor payment application. 

Let's navigate to the QuickBooks Apps Center to find a program that suits your business needs. To speed up the process, enter a keyword in the Search bar or explore the Categories section. From the list of supported apps, browse through each to learn more about its features. 

It's a good idea to send a product suggestion to our engineers about the option to post direct deposit payments to two accounts. They can review your suggestions and consider adding them in future releases.
