# Verifying Funding Sources
### Abstract
Verifying funding sources is a required step to add a funding source. Microdeposit verification is a standard practice to ensure that the funding source is valid and correctly added.
In this article, we’ll walk through the process of verifying a funding source.
### Verifying Microdeposit
When you begin the funding source verification process, you must confirm that the microdeposit show up correctly in your bank account. This is a standard practice in the *United States* to ensure the correct account ownership and routing information.
Follow these steps to complete the verification of your new funding source:
1. Once the new funding source is created, it will initially appear as **Not Verified** in the **Funding Sources** list, so the next step is to proceed with the verification. To begin, locate and click the previously added funding source:
1. Navigate to **Charted > AP Automation > Settings > Payment Automation > Funding Sources**\
2. After selecting the funding source, it will open the screen for the **Funding Source Information** which will allow you to start the verification process:\
3. To start verifying an account for **ACH**, you need to verify microdeposit by clicking the **Verify** button:\
4. As a standard *US* practice for bank account verification, once you press **Verify** we will send two small deposits to your bank account. This can take 1-2 business days to show up.
5. Enter the deposits as they appear in your bank account in any order in **Deposit 1** and **Deposit 2**\
\
**Note:** When you click the **Deposit 1** or **2** dropdown, the following deposit options will show from **1¢** to **10¢**:\
6. Before any funds can be pulled from your account, most banks require that **ACH** debits must be enabled for our originator ID ("945440567 "). This often involves coordination with your bank to authorize the **ACH** provider (*Charted*) to withdraw the necessary amounts.
7. To allow **ACH** debits on your account, tick the box to confirm that **ACH** Debits have been enabled for our Originator ID ("945440567 ") with your bank account\
\
**Note:** This is usually a manual process to contact your bank account and communicate that this is the number that *Charted* represents to pull funds on the *ACH* network.
8. After confirming the microdeposits and **ACH** debit status, click the **Submit** button to complete microdeposit verification:\
9. Finally, the funding source will appear as **Verified** and you can review the **Funding Source Information**:\
Once you’ve completed these steps, your *ACH* funding source should be fully verified.
