Validate Bank Account Information

Client properties: Payroll > Bank Account Validation Enabled (Select the checkbox)

Before You Begin: Bank account validation functionality is only available for bank accounts in the UK and Ireland.

You can configure Dayforce to validate bank account information to reduce the risk of payroll errors caused by invalid account information. When account validation is enabled, accounts are validated in the following locations:

  • The Payroll > Direct Deposit screen in People
  • The Bank Accounts tab in Payroll Set-up > Bank Accounts
  • The Payees tab in Payroll Set-up > Third-party Payees

When you enter a new account, the Account Verified field shows as Pending. When you click Save, the account information is verified. If the account validates successfully, the Account Verified field updates to show a green checkmark.
