Before a business ACH template or wire transfer can be submitted, your business must set up Payees​ (the recipients of the wire transfers). You can set up a payee (or several) for your business by accessing the ​Payee’s​ tab, located within the ​Business Admin widget. From here, users who are assigned the Manage Payees​ permission can add, edit, and delete payees. 

Important:​ ​Although your business has added a payee, the payee will not be eligible to be sent any payments until a payment method is added to the payee. See the ​Add a Payment Method section below for more details. 

How to Create a New Payee 

1. Click the ​Payees ​tab in the ​Business Admin​ widget. 

2. Click the ​Add A Payee​ button.

Important: 

• Payees are required to have an address in the Contact Info section in order to add or edit a domestic or international wire payment method.
• Although you have added a payee, the payee will not be eligible to be sent any payments until a payment method is added to the payee. See the ​Add a Payment Method section below for more details.   

Payment Methods 

A payment method is a set of payment instructions related to specific types of payments (either ACH or Wires) that will be used by our business banking widgets to simplify the payment process. Once a payment method is added to a payee, that payee will then be eligible for payments related to the added payment method.

A “role” in the ​Business Admin​ widget is a group of feature permissions, accounts, and transaction limits that are applied to sub users. Roles determine the set of features a sub user is allowed to use, the accounts they can work in, transaction limits associated with specific transaction types, and whether or not sub users are able to approve transactions. 

A role may be applied to more than one sub user, allowing you to create business-specific roles that cover the access requirements of multiple individuals at your business.
