Why is it taking so long for my bank account to be verified for direct deposit?

Bank account verification may take some time in various cases such as on the Quick-books ends or maybe due to your financial institution.

But you need not to worry in both cases as Quick-books will let you know once the verification process complete successfully.

I'd love to help share information about setting up direct deposit in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Once you've entered the bank account information for your business, you may need to wait 2 to 3 business days and an additional 2 to 3 business days once the test deposit to the bank is verified. On an average, it takes about seven business days to set up direct deposit, including verifying your company's bank account for security purposes.

If it's not yet verified on the said date, you may need to get in touch with our live support to check and investigate this further for you.

Hello Angelyn

i entered the micro transaction sent to my account for verification. It says ‘Acrive’ but for some reason my bank account still says ‘Waiting Approval’

I assumed after verifying the account transaction I would be good to go. So is it 7 business days wait time for QBO Online Payroll as well?

Hi Angelyn 

I verified the micro transaction that was removed from my account today. It’s says

Action: Active

Bank Account: Waiting for Approval 

I was under the impression it would verify after confirming the transaction. Does it usually do this for QBO payroll online?
