functionality in the Procore web application to handle the payment process between general and specialty contractors.
Objective
To link a bank account for your company to receive payments from payors using Procore Pay.
Background
With Procore Pay, a payee must add a bank account to receive payments. From the payor perspective, the payee's bank account is termed a beneficiary account.
Important
- Account verification for Procore Pay is done using a commercially available database/registry of bank account information. Procore Pay stores only the account's Nickname, Bank ID, and Next Check Number entered by your Payments Admin. This provides Payments Disbursers with a method to identify the correct account for transmitting payments. Identifying bank account information is never entered nor stored in Procore Pay or any other Procore product.
- Account verification is done by an embedded software platform that provides Procore Pay users with an integrated money movement solution.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions
Note: Permissions differ based on whether your company has a free or paid Procore account. See How can I tell if I have a free or paid Procore account?
- You can only designate one (1) bank account to receive payments per commitment.
- If you have only one bank account linked, it will be set as your default bank account for invoice payments by default.
