Learn what you can do if you get an error message about direct deposit limits when you process payroll in QuickBooks Online and Desktop Payroll.
For your security, we set limits on how much money you can send via direct deposit. When your direct deposit amount is higher than usual, you may get a message: "Your payment amounts are much larger than usual. If you still want to make these payments by direct deposit, request a direct deposit limit increase."
Here's what to do so you can make sure your team gets paid by direct deposit.
Note: Not sure which payroll service you have? Here's how to find your payroll service. |
Step 1: Understand direct deposit limits
Direct deposit limits are set per payroll.
Step 2: Find out what your direct deposit limits are
Step 3: Request a direct deposit limit increase
