This article explains how Deel employees, Deel Payroll direct employees, US Payroll employees, and PEO employees can add up to five bank accounts in Deel and, where enabled, split their salary between them.

Before you begin

You must:

• Have permission to manage your personal bank accounts
• Have your bank account number or IBAN, routing details, and branch details ready
• Use the employee Payment Settings experience, rather than organization-level payment methods
• Use bank accounts in the same currency as your employment contract to avoid delays or extra fees

Workflow

Step 1 - Open Payment Settings

Step 2 - Start adding a bank account

Step 3 - Enter the account name, country, and currency

1. Enter an optional custom name for the account, then select Continue.
2. Choose the country where the bank is located.
3. Select the currency that matches your employment contract.

Note: The Add bank account panel guides you through country and currency, personal information, bank details, and confirmation.

Step 4 - Enter the account details

Provide the requested bank information, which may include:

• Account number or IBAN
• Routing number and bank or branch details
• Account type, such as checking or savings

Step 5 - Enter your personal information

Provide the requested personal information, including:

• Your full legal name, exactly as it appears on the bank account
• Your residential address, matching the bank’s records
• Your contact phone number and email address

Step 6 - Review and save the bank account

1. Review the account and personal information for accuracy.
2. Complete the confirmation step and save the bank account.

The new account appears in the Bank accounts section of Payment Settings.

Note: After saving, we'll send a small test deposit to confirm the account is valid. See Verifying your bank account (penny test) for how to check and confirm it.

Step 7 - Open Salary distribution

1. In the left sidebar, select Finance to expand its submenu.
2. Select Payment Settings.
3. Open Edit payment settings, if shown.
4. In the Salary distribution panel, select Edit.

You will see Edit only if your organization allows multiple bank accounts and salary distributions.

Note: This feature is available in all Deel countries, but clients may restrict it by entity. Clients must also ask Support or their CSM to enable fixed-amount distributions.

Step 8 - Set the salary distribution

1. Enter the percentage for each account using whole numbers; each allocation must be at least 1%.
2. Confirm that the total allocation is correct and review the summary panel for the effective-date notice.
3. Save your changes.

Changes made after the payroll cut-off date apply to the next payroll cycle. Off-cycle payments and expense reimbursements also follow the selected percentages.
