Before attempting this tutorial, you must:

  • Meet the general prerequisites described in Get Started with Use Case Tutorials.

  • Have a pre-existing approved bank account linked to your Payrix Pro portal account.

Access Your User Profile Page

  1. Click PROFILE, located in the upper-right corner of the page, to open your user profile page.

    Important!

    You must use the entity owner’s profile to add an entity’s bank account. This is the first user login provided to (or created for) the entity upon first being onboarded to the platform.

    You can also access your profile by clicking SETTINGS. Scroll down to the User Settings section and locate the User Account Information subsection. Click USER ACCOUNT INFORMATION to open your profile page.

  3. Update the bank account information manually or re-link it with Plaid using the applicable steps in the following sections.

    Note

    If you’re adding an account manually, verification of the new account information will take up to five business days. To cancel or view the status of your pending manual review, go to the Pending Change Requests section of the Banking tab on your entity’s Profile page.

Re-Link bank account information with Plaid

  1. Click RELINK ACCOUNT in the dialog.

  2. Follow the prompts by Plaid to finish linking and verifying the new account.
