Unlock a Business Bank Account
When you reimburse a report, Expensify initiates a withdrawal from your connected business bank account. If your bank rejects this withdrawal—due to insufficient funds, missing authorization, or direct debit restrictions—your account will be locked until the issue is resolved.
Why Is My Bank Account Locked?
Common reasons include:
- Your bank account is not enabled for ACH direct debits
- There were insufficient funds available during a reimbursement attempt
- Your bank blocked the debit attempt
When this occurs, Expensify pauses reimbursements and locks the verified account as a precaution.
How to Request an Unlock
To unlock your account:
- Go to Workspaces > [Workspace Name] > Bank Account.
- Click the Fix button next to the locked account.
This sends a request to the Expensify support team. A Concierge agent will contact you with the next steps.
Note: Unlocking a bank account may take several business days due to ACH processing timelines and clawback periods.
