Account Verification

New accounts have an initial Verification status of Not Verified.  Payroll funds will not be deposited into your account until the Verification status is Verified and verification takes up to 24 hours to process.

To ensure smooth transactions, Elon recommends making any banking changes well before the end of a payroll period. Remember, payroll processing can sometimes occur a few days prior to funds being deposited in your account.

Edit, Inactivate or End, or Reactivate an Account

Edit an Account

After a bank account is considered verified, you can change only the account nickname and bank account usage information. You cannot change other information, such as the bank account number.

Inactivate or End an Account

Select the account that you want to end. Under Bank Account Usage, slide the Activate toggle to the left. This sets the end date to yesterday. Alternatively, you can click End on and enter a date.

Be aware, however, that if you are ending an active account and payroll processing has been completed, your change will take effect with the next payroll.

Note: Turning off a future payroll direct deposit account is the same as deleting the account.

Reactivate an Account

You can change or remove the end date from an active or future payroll direct deposit account, but you cannot reactivate an account whose end date has passed or an account that has been deleted. Instead, you must add the account again.
