BambooHR Direct Deposit Not Received After Bank Change

Workaround available Web Updated November 14, 2026Based on 3 user reportsHow we research

Quick answer

A bank change must be saved and synced to payroll before the next pay run, or the deposit goes to the old account. Company funding account changes take 1-2 business days.

Most likely fix: Employee: check your bank details

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Employee: check your bank details

    1. Open your profile > Pay Info and confirm the direct deposit account and numbers.
    2. Contact your payroll contact with the date of the change and the pay date.
    3. Ask for the payroll register to confirm where the deposit was sent.

  2. 2. Admin: sync and reset

    1. Confirm the bank info was updated in BambooHR and synced to payroll before running payroll again.
    2. If payroll has already started, reset the employee's payroll data on the Edit page to include the new account.
    3. Direct deposit changes email the employee and payroll contact.
