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

- 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.

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.
