Adding a bank account

If you’re set up for a check payment method, you can change this to direct deposit from your Gusto account.

You’ll be prompted to sign a Direct Deposit Authorization form. You can find this form for future reference in the Documents section of your account.

• Sign into your Gusto account.
• Click the Job & Pay tab on the left-hand side.
• Under Payment Method: Check, click Add Method.
• Enter your routing number, account number, account type, and display name—make sure all information is accurate.
  • We’ll send a test transaction to the account number entered—if we receive an error, the information may need to be updated and verified. This may take a few days.
• Click Save.

Once the account has been verified, you’ll be paid via direct deposit on future payrolls that haven’t already been processed.

Changing your bank account

• Sign in to Gusto.
• Click the Job & Pay tab.
  • If you don’t see the Job & Pay tab, you might be in your admin account—reference this article to switch between accounts.
• Scroll to the “Payment Method” headline, and click edit near the right-side of the page.
• Enter your new direct deposit information–make sure all the information is accurate.
  • We’ll send a test deposit to the account number entered–if we receive an error, the information may need to be updated and verified. This may take a few days.

• Click Save.

Once the bank account has been verified, you’ll be paid to the new account.

If you changed your bank account after a payment has already been processed, it may go to the previous account. Reach out to your administrator if you were not paid in the right account.
