For bank accounts linked manually ([Create Bank Account](/connect/rest-api/payments/create-bank-account.md)), sFOX uses micro-deposits to to verify the account.&#x20;

* sFOX will deposit two <$1 amounts  to the user's linked bank account. Micro-deposits expect to be be completed within 1-3 business days after linking the bank account. If the user has not received the deposits within 3 days, please contact **<support@sfox.com>**
* Collect these amounts from your end user and use the request below to verify.&#x20;

Until verification is completed the user's bank account will be in a "Pending Verification" status. Bank account status may be retrieved using a [Get Bank Account](/connect/rest-api/payments/get-bank-account.md) request.
