What Is Bank Verification?
When adding the Flex bank account as a new payment method in your rent portal, you may need to complete Bank Verification to ensure the account is valid, linked, and functioning correctly. This process is typically required only once when you first add the Flex bank account—not every month.
Verification methods vary depending on your rent portal. Some portals use micro-deposits (small, temporary amounts sent to the account) as a common method, while others may require you to enter specific details or codes provided by Flex. This guide offers an overview of how to verify the Flex bank account and navigate the verification process.
This verification process only needs to be completed once, when you first add the Flex bank account to your rent portal—not every month.
Steps to Verify a Flex Bank Account
Step 1: Add the Flex Bank Account
-
- Log in to your rent portal.
- Navigate to the “Payment Methods” section and add the Flex bank account details.
- You’ll be notified that a verification method (such as micro-deposits, a 3-digit code, or a letter code) will be sent to the Flex bank account for confirmation.
Step 2: Wait for the Verification Email
-
- Your rent portal will send the verification method (e.g., micro-deposits, a code, or a letter combination) to the Flex bank account.
- Since the Flex bank account belongs to Flex, the verification details are sent to us first. Once we receive them, we’ll forward the information to you via email. This process can take up to 3 business days from when you first try to add the Flex bank account to your rent portal.
