If your organization needs to update your banking information for any reason, then your team will need to submit a request to our Payments Team to start the process of unlocking your bank account section.

Required Information

The information you'll need:

  1. A letter from your organization's representative confirming that the bank account is authorized to be updated.

    1. You can find who your organization representative is by navigating to your Bank Account & Verification page in GiveGab, and seeing who is listed under the Payment Processor Verification section.

      1. Even if you are the organization representative, you still need to provide the letter verifying the change.

      2. If the representative listed is no longer with the organization, check if there is a blue "Update Verification Details" button that will allow you to update the representative associated with your account.

    2. The letter needs to:

      1. Be on your organization's official letterhead.

      2. Be dated.

      3. Contain a statement confirming the bank account change is authorized.

      4. Be signed by the organization representative.

      5. *Do NOT include your banking details in this letter.

  2. A color scan of your ID.

    1. This can be your Driver's License or Passport

Processing Your Request

After receiving your request, our Payments Team will review the documentation provided to determine if it's sufficient enough to proceed with the bank account change.

If the documentation is sufficient, our team will reach out to you once your request has been approved and your organization can make updates to your banking information via the "Change Bank Account" button.

  • If the documentation is not sufficient, our team will reach out to you directly to get updated information.

After updating your banking information, you should receive payouts to your updated account.

FAQs

  1. Why do we have to register somewhere to submit our bank account change?

    1. We've updated our bank account change process to make it more secure.

    2. This allows us to validate requests better upfront, and verify that bank account changes for accounts are authorized.

  2. What is CyberGrants?

    1. CyberGrants is another product within Bonterra's suite of products! They are a part of the Bonterra family, just as GiveGab is.

    2. Since their product does allow for form submissions with documentation uploads, our team has decided to leverage their product for some processes like Bank Account Changes and Organization Representative Changes.

  3. Is my submission only valid for 24 hours like previously?

    1. No! Your submission is valid beyond the 24 hour period. We will notify you when your submission has been reviewed and approved, so your team can make the adjustments to your bank account.

  4. Will I need to submit a new request in the future for any bank account changes?

    1. Yes! Any new bank account change will still require a new form submission.

  5. What if I don't heard back about my request?

    1. If you don't receive a response within 2 business days of your submission, please contact payments@bonterratech.com so our team can double-check on our end and help resolve the issue.
