My bank isn’t listed. What do I do?
If your bank isn't among the ones listed in the integration screen when connecting your bank account in the Benefits Portal, there is a manual way to link your account. Let's walk through the steps.
How to manually add your bank account
- Once you click the Connect Bank button in your StretchDollar Benefits Portal, a screen referring to Plaid will pop up.
- Click continue and a new screen will open that lists bank institutions. On this screen, click the bottom link: Link with Account Numbers. (See image below)
- Next, you’ll be asked to add your routing number, bank account, and name. (Below is a sample screen.)
- The last screen will ask you to authorize a deposit of $0.01. The reason for this is to confirm that the correct information was entered and to provide a code that will be your final piece of authentication information. (As we said earlier, we take security seriously!)
- Return to your bank account to see the transaction. The deposit will include a 3-letter code, which is your final security piece to link your account. The transaction may take up to 24 hours to appear in your account.
Once you have the 3-letter code, return to your Benefits Portal and click “connect bank.” This code is your final security piece to link your account. Your bank should now be connected!
