Linking Personal Bank Account for Reimbursement
Last updated March 21, 2026
Linking Your Personal Bank Account for Reimbursements
Overview
Slash allows team members to link a personal bank account to receive reimbursement payments directly. When your company processes a reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, the funds can be deposited straight into your linked account rather than requiring a check or manual transfer.
This feature is available to employees and team members who have been invited to their company's Slash account with the appropriate permissions.
How to Link Your Personal Bank Account
Step 1: Access Your Profile Settings
From the Slash dashboard, click on your profile icon in the top-right corner and select Settings.
Step 2: Navigate to Reimbursement Settings
In the Settings menu, locate and click on Reimbursement Account or Payment Methods.
Step 3: Add a Bank Account
Click Add Bank Account or Link Account. You'll have two options:
- Connect via Plaid: Securely link your bank by signing into your bank's online portal. This is the fastest method and verifies your account instantly.
- Manual entry: Enter your routing number and account number directly. Manual entries may require micro-deposit verification, which takes 1-2 business days.
Step 4: Verify Your Account
If you used Plaid, verification is automatic. For manual entries, Slash will send two small deposits (typically under $1 each) to your account. Once you see them, return to your Reimbursement Settings and enter the exact amounts to confirm ownership.
Step 5: Set as Default (Optional)
If you have multiple accounts linked, you can select which account should receive reimbursements by default.
How Reimbursements Work
Once your account is linked, reimbursements approved by your company will be deposited directly. Processing times depend on the payment method your company uses:
- ACH transfers: 1-2 business days
- Same-Day ACH: Same business day if submitted before cutoff
You'll receive a notification when a reimbursement is initiated and another when funds are deposited.
Managing Your Linked Account
You can update or remove your linked bank account at any time from your Reimbursement Settings. If you change banks, simply add the new account and remove the old one. Any pending reimbursements will be sent to the account that was linked at the time of approval.
Need More Help?
If your reimbursement is delayed or you're having trouble linking your account, check the following:
- Ensure your bank supports Plaid connections (most major banks do)
- Double-check your routing and account numbers if you entered them manually
- Confirm micro-deposits have arrived (check your bank's pending transactions)
