How Do I Verify My Bank Account?
Learn what documents are required to verify your bank account in ZimpleMoney and how to upload them through your profile.
ZimpleMoney is required to verify that the bank account owner matches the ZimpleMoney account holder before processing ACH transactions. This is a separate process from verifying your identity.
Why does your bank account need to be verified by ZimpleMoney?
We need to authenticate and verify that the same owner of the ZimpleMoney account owns the bank account.
This is required even if you connect your bank account via Plaid.
For personal bank accounts, here's what you need to provide:
-

-

If the bank account is not in your name, you must also provide a bank letter confirming you are an authorized signer on the account, along with the account and routing numbers and confirmation that the account supports ACH debits and credits.
For business bank accounts, here's what we need from you:
