How you get paid

Payment methods

• ACH (direct deposit): the fastest. We verify your bank account before the first payment.
• Check: mailed to your business mailing address.
• Credit card: only for companies that add no fee or percentage for card payments. Associations do not pay card fees. If your company starts charging card fees, tell us at least 30 days before. Card payments stop if fees are added.

Bank account verification (ACH)

We confirm the account before the first payment. Choose one:

• Connect your bank: sign in to your bank through Plaid. We confirm the account can receive ACH and that it belongs to your business. Zeal never sees your bank password.
• Enter the account details: routing and account numbers, and who holds the account. We check with the bank network that the account is open and belongs to that holder. Nothing is deposited.

If your bank is not in the instant network, confirm the account one of two ways:

• Upload a voided check or bank letter. Done right away; our team checks it before your first payment.
• Verify with two small deposits. We send two deposits under $1. They arrive in 1 to 5 business days, and we email you. Then you sign in and enter the amounts.

If the account cannot be verified, you can try another account or finish with check. Our team reviews it and can switch you to ACH later.

Payment terms

Choose Net 15, 30, 45 or 60, counted from the invoice date. Email each invoice the same day you issue it. See How to send invoices.
