Update failed - Employee account for direct deposit

We have an employee set up who is receiving direct deposits to 2 bank accounts. It worked well until now.

What happened?

Employee requested and we updated one of the accounts. Then we ran payroll. Employee reported to have received the whole amount to just one account. The updated account was ignored.

Any ideas?

 

P.S. we noticed the bank name did not update. the routing number points to Capital One Bank

Thank you for adding a screenshot, proreo.

 

Let's fix the issue by double-checking your employee's bank information. I'm here to guide you through the process.

 

To start with, let's revisit your employee's payment method. Here's how:

 

  1. From the Payroll tab, select Employees.
  2. Select the employee's name.
  3. Click Edit on the Payment method section.
  4. Double-check the bank details.
  5. Click Save.

 

 Moreover, if you want the system to pay your employees automatically, you can check this article: Set up and manage your Auto Payroll in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

 

You can always post in the forum whenever you have payroll concerns.

Hey Adrian

 

I will reiterate: the employee's accounts had been updated and checked before we ran payroll.

It shows the correct account and routing, the bank name is not correct. 

 

Any other ideas?

 

P.S. trying the screenshot again because I can't seem to be able to open the 1st one

Thanks Glinette

 

You just condemned me to spending a half day with your clueless support until they route me for the Nth time to someone competent

I think it's time to say goodbye to QuickBooks Payroll and get someone who knows what they are doing

curious if this got resolved?  We have the same issue.  Ironically - or maybe not - with the same bank Capital One.  I can't get two deposits set up again for this employee and this account wont hold at all in QB.  Not sure what is happeing.  Support was useless.

Long story short, figured it out, bonus gets paid only to one account while paycheck can get split into two accounts.

If you have account A for $200 and rest for account B, bonus gets paid fully to the secondary account which is B in this case.

The emp really wanted a bonus from capital one, so we changed his settings to just one account (yes, the display name of the bank shows still the old name, but the account and routing numbers updated). Then we reverted to the old settings.

I hope that helps.
