Verify your identity

The Identity Verification process is a security feature that protects our customers and their finances. We take the security of our customers' bank accounts very seriously, as well as having federally regulated due diligence we must complete when it comes to verifying identities and authorizing money movement for accounts.

How verification works

We’ll ask you a series of questions about you that only you know the answers to. These questions are based on information pulled from the public record.

• None of the information is saved but is simply used for verification
• Be sure to use your personal information (full legal name, home address, etc.), as we are verifying your identity
• Each user should complete their own verification, it is not advised to attempt the verification on behalf of another user
• You will have 3 attempts to verify your identity online

If the system is unable to verify your identity online, you'll be prompted to upload documents for manual identity verification.

If you are currently outside of the US but need to add a US bank account to your Bill.com account, or do not have a US public record history, we offer the option to verify your identity through documents.

Edit a bank account

Once you add a bank account to a Bill.com account, you cannot edit or delete the bank account information completely for auditing purposes. You can only edit the select fields below:

• Bank Name
• Account Holder Name
• Default for payments in
• Default for payments out

If you need to edit the account or routing number, you will need to archive the account and re-add.

Edit a bank account:

1. From the Home screen in your Bill.com app, tap on the Options bars in the top left corner
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Bank Accounts
4. Tap Edit on the bank you want to edit
5. Make the changes you'd like
6. Tap Done

Archive a bank account

1. From the Home screen in your Bill.com app, tap on the Options bars in the top left corner
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Bank Accounts
4. Tap Archive on the bank account you want to archive
5. Tap Ok to confirm

Payments in process

• Scheduled payments

  • When a bank account is inactivated, scheduled payments set to process from that bank account will be cancelled
  • If a payment that processed from a bank account inactivated from Bill.com needs to be voided and reissued:
    • If the bank account is still open, even if the account has been inactivated in Bill.com, the funds will be returned to the issuing bank account
    • If the bank account is no longer open, the attempt to return the funds will fail. Users authorized on that bank account will receive an email notification to contact Customer Support to let us know which bank account to redirect the funds to.
      • The bank account to redirect funds to must be active in the Bill.com account

• Receiving payments

  • Remittance information is locked when a payment processes, so when a new bank account is added to receive payments, any payments already in progress will continue as scheduled to the bank account that was set as Default To Get Paid at the time the payment was processed.
    • If that bank account is no longer active, the payment will fail and a new payment will need to be initiated.
    • Contact the person/business paying you to reinitiate the payment
  • Payments with process dates after the update will use the new bank information if the new bank is specifically chosen or if it is set as the Default To Get Paid
