Setting up contractors with direct deposit

Thank you for reaching out to the Community, Christygibbs53. 

I'm here to guide you on how to set up direct deposit for your contractors in QuickBooks Online. 

Before you can set up paying contractors, you would need to have an active payroll subscription. You'll need to have a bank account connected to fund direct deposit. If you haven't linked your bank to online payroll, this article will assist you with that. The first step to do this would be to set up the contractor's profile. 

1. Go to the Workers or Payroll menu and click the Contractors tab. 
2. For a new contractor, choose to Add a contractor. If you need to edit an existing contractor, select it.
3. Pick Add bank.
4. Enter your banking credentials or bank account information.
5. Click Save. 

Once done, let's set a contractor up for the direct deposit.

1. Select the Workers or Payroll menu.
2. Choose the name of the contractor.
3. Click Edit, then Edit again in the Pay method field.
4. In the pay method field, select Direct Deposit.
5. Enter the contractor's bank account information if you haven't already.
6. Click OK.
