Common Uses

Direct Deposits: Bank verification may be required by employers or government agencies (including the IRS) to establish direct deposits for income, benefits, social security, tax refunds, and other payment plans.

International Money Transfers: Verification may be requested by financial entities or money transfer services when overseeing the accuracy of international wire transfers.

Loans and Mortgages: Loan entities often need to verify a potential borrower’s finances before entering into a loan agreement.

Payment Authorization: A company, service provider, or vendor may need to verify a customer’s banking information before processing a payment charge or setting up recurring billing. This verification process also applies to the authorization process for automated clearing house (ACH) payments.

Rental Agreements: Before accepting a potential tenant, property managers and landlords may have them complete a bank verification form to confirm their ability to pay rent.

Verification Process

Step 1 – Account Holder Information

When a requesting party sends a bank verification form to the account holder, the account holder must complete the appropriate section of the document and sign it before sending it to their bank. By signing the verification form, the account holder agrees to release sensitive banking information to the requesting party.

Step 2 – Bank Account Details

Upon receiving the form, the account holder’s bank will enter all applicable bank account details:

  • Bank name and contact information
  • Types of accounts
  • Account numbers
  • Activation dates
  • Current and average 6-month balance
  • Joint account information
  • Interest rate (if applicable)
  • Cash value (if applicable)
  • Security type (if applicable)

The bank representative must sign their name and enter the date, their printed name, and title.

Step 3 – Delivery

The financial institution may send it back to the account holder who will then deliver it to the requesting party, or they may send it straight to the requesting party. The requesting party is bound to maintain the confidentiality of the information and only use it for their stated purpose.
