 Create Customer Bank Accounts

You can enter as many bank accounts as needed in Payroll Setup > Bank Accounts to contain the information that an organization uses for payroll and third-party payees.

The settings in the Bank Accounts tab remain editable as long as there is no committed pay run where the bank account is in use. After there is a committed pay run with that bank account, only the settings related to adjusting the MICR line for printing onsite checks are editable by Service Role users only. For more information, contact your Dayforce representative.

Important:  

Changes to bank accounts require additional configurations outside of Dayforce and are therefore restricted to Dayforce service and support users. Bank changes are a billable service.

To request changes, contact Dayforce Support.

Note: If a Singapore organization uses a Citibank account for payroll and wants to generate a bank file that is compliant with version 16.6 of the Citibank file import specification, you need to define the specification version in Dayforce before generating the bank file. The Citibank file version is configured in the Parameters section of Payroll Setup > Bank Accounts in the Bank Accounts tab. See The Parameters Section in the Bank Accounts Tab.

  1. Go to Payroll Setup > Bank Accounts.
  2. Click Add.
