What time does direct deposit hit paypal

When do deposits show in my bank account?

Once you’ve created your Zettle account and connected your bank account, you’re ready to start receiving money.

 Following the daily (standard deposit) schedule, we'll pay out your money within 1–2 business days of the transaction date. Your bank will then process the money and deposit it in your bank account.

As bank processing times may vary, it can take a few business days for deposits to show up in your account. Please contact your bank for more information about their processing times.

How to keep track of deposits

On my.zettle.com

You can view your deposits, account statement, and other account information any time under Deposits on my.zettle.com.
In addition, you’ll receive email notifications when deposits have been made.

As of 1st of October 2020, Zettle services are provided by PayPal Europe. This means that PayPal handles the deposits to your bank account and your money will show as a deposit from PAYPAL PTE.LTD.

Missing your latest deposits?  
If you haven't received your most recent deposits or if you're unable to make transactions, it could mean your account information is out of date. 
Please check the email address linked to your Zettle account to find further instructions.

Daily schedule

Daily is the standard deposit schedule. Please note that deposits are not made on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays.

Customising your deposit schedule

You have the flexibility to choose how often you’d like to receive deposits. Customise your deposit schedule to receive payments:

To set up your deposit schedule:

1. Sign in to your Zettle account on my.zettle.com. 
2. Click on your name in the top menu and go to Account & settings > General account settings. From there, you can pick your deposit schedule of choice.

Good to know:

Direct deposit is a very convenient method for automatically depositing payments received electronically. Direct deposit eliminates the inefficient, environmentally unfriendly, and expensive use of paper checks for payer and payee.

What is Direct Deposit?

Direct deposit is an electronic deposit sent from a payer to a payee’s account or a prepaid debit card, following set-up instructions. A direct deposit may use electronic ACH bank transfers or another electronic payment method offered by the payer. 

When to Use Direct Deposit

You can use direct deposit to pay employee payroll or independent contractor freelancers, receive an IRS tax refund, and pay or receive other business or personal electronic payments. The U.S. and state governments make Social Security benefits and other payments to recipients via direct deposit. Direct deposit can be one-time or recurring.

States, for example, offer direct deposit for child support payments. 

Direct deposit can be implemented by a payroll service used by small businesses or directly by an employer with in-house payroll. 

Where to Send Direct Deposits

Direct deposits can be sent electronically to a recipient’s bank account(s), a prepaid debit card, or an online payment service platform like PayPal. Recipients may not need to have a bank account to receive a direct deposit if the payer allows non-bank direct deposits. 

Some prepaid debit cards can be used to pay for purchases and allow cash ATM withdrawals.

How to Set Up Direct Deposit

While there are different steps to set up direct deposit depending on which platform you use, the main steps are generally the same.

1. Acquire a direct deposit form from your employer
2. Fill out the form
3. Decide what percentage of payment you want directly deposited
4. If required, attach deposit slip or voided check
5. Return the form to your employer

For direct deposit in a financial institution, you’ll need to furnish your bank account information for a bank-to-bank electronic transfer. In the U.S., ACH bank transfers are processed through the Automated Clearing House, whether your financial institution is a bank or credit union. 

Bank account information to furnish includes the ABA-issued bank routing number and your bank account number shown on the check. The payer may request that you send a voided check or deposit slip so they can verify your direct deposit information, including the bank routing number and bank account number. 

The first two sets of steps below show how to set up payroll-related direct deposit from a form or online portal or through the PayPal mobile app. PayPal Direct Deposit is also used for direct deposits from government agencies. A PayPal Balance account with no limitations is required. If PayPal receives the payment instructions early, it offers early access payment up to two days early.

The third set of steps is how to pay freelancers or independent contractors through Upwork with online banking in the United States.  

You can also set up and make global mass payments with direct deposit to independent contractors and freelancers through your AP automation and global mass payments software.

5. Electronically sign the direct deposit form. 
6. Submit the direct deposit form to your employer’s payroll department.

When Direct Deposit SetUp Starts Working

A payroll direct deposit doesn’t start working immediately after setting it up. It takes one or two pay cycles to start. Once direct deposit payments begin, the direct deposit usually takes one to three business days to process but can take five days. Upwork direct deposit is effective three days after the freelancer confirms the account.

If another type of direct deposit is set up, ask the payer when they expect the direct deposit to become effective for automatic deposits. 

Benefits of Direct Deposit

Direct deposit benefits the payer and payee. Businesses reduce time and save money. Instead of printing, distributing, processing, and depositing checks, they make electronic transfers. Direct deposit reduces the risk of lost or stolen paper checks. Direct deposit can be used for recurring payments/deposits. Global payments can be made with direct deposit.

 With direct deposit, employees and independent contractors don’t need to scan checks to deposit them through a mobile app or make a trip to the bank. 

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can a payroll direct deposit be split into more than one bank account?

Generally, you can split a direct deposit between a checking account and a savings or money market account. It’s beneficial for payroll direct deposits. If you give extra routing numbers and bank account numbers, you can even split the direct deposit between accounts in different banks.

Can you direct deposit into a business account?

Yes. Business bank accounts and personal accounts are used for direct deposit, depending on the type of direct deposit.

Is direct deposit the same as direct debit?

Direct deposit and direct debit can both be electronically sent ACH or SEPA payments, making them similar at times. 
The payer initiates an electronic direct deposit with a direct deposit authorization form submitted by the payee. Recurring payments to businesses, like SaaS subscription payments, are paid through a bank to bank direct debit (or a credit card) initiated by the receiving party (payee).

Do you need a voided check to set up direct deposit?

If the payer needs you to furnish a voided check or deposit slip, you’ll be informed as part of the directions for setting up direct deposit. Void your check in a way that still shows the routing number and bank account number but doesn’t allow it to be used for fraudulent payment. 
For example, use a special pen with tamper-proof ink to write “VOID” on the check and cut off the signature line.
