Authorize 3-Letter Code Micro-Deposit Process: 

Note: This tool is used to verify your ownership of the account and once verified, only then you’ll have visibility into deposits and withdrawals.


It can take up to 24 - 48 hours for the deposit to reflect on your Bank Account. Once you can find the deposit, you can navigate back to your ‘linked bank accounts’ section in the dashboard to ‘verify account’. Click Verify account.

If you’re prompted to manually verify a code for your micro-deposit within your app or service, here’s what we recommend:
  1. Log into your online banking account via their app or website
  2. Locate the $0.01 deposit that was made into the account that you provided details for previously (step 6 above)
  3. Click into this deposit/transaction to view the details. The deposit should come through with a description that reads: #XXX  <app_name>  ACCTVERIFY
  4. The "XXX" above is where a 3-letter code should be (e.g. #ABC Peanut App ACCTVERIFY).
  5. Once you've located the 3-letter code in the description of the $0.01 deposit, copy the code or write it down for quick access later.
  6. There will be 3 attempts available for Verification. If failed, the user will have to follow the whole process again. 
  7. After you click verify account, Your account will be successfully set up & Motive cards can then be used.

Note: If you are not receiving the $0.01 deposit, please reach out to the app or service you’re attempting to connect with. There is a 7-day time window. If you are unable to verify your account during this time frame, the process will need to be restarted.
