Automatic Deposit is the easiest and fastest way to receive your payments. After you create a profile at Popmoney.com and provide your Eligible Transaction Account information, you can choose to receive all future payments to that account by enabling Automatic Deposit. Once it is enabled, there's nothing more for you to do - Popmoney will automatically send all your payments into your selected Eligible Transaction Account. If Automatic Deposit is not selected, you will need to visit Popmoney.com any time you receive a notification to manually tell the system to deposit the money to which Eligible Transaction Account. You can edit Automatic Deposit settings in My Profile.
Your funds will be available in as early as one business day (depending on the speed chosen by the sender) from the date that you provide your Eligible Transaction Account information. You will receive a confirmation email when the credit is sent to your bank account with the date the funds will be in your account. Please check your financial institution's policy on funds availability.
When you receive your Eligible Transaction Account statement, the payments sent to you through Popmoney usually appear as electronic deposits (similar to ATM deposits).
Note: In some cases, the payments appear on your Eligible Transaction Account statement just like your other checks. However, the sequence numbers on these transactions are typically higher than the sequence numbers on your checks.
If you are expecting a payment and you do not see it in your Incoming Payments, this is most likely because you have not added the email address or mobile number to which the payment was sent to your profile. Have you added this email address or mobile number? If not, go to My Profile to add and verify it. Once you are done, you will be able to see the payment immediately.
As a security precaution, senders provide your mobile number when they schedule a payment. You need to verify access to this mobile number in order to confirm your identity and receive the funds.
Do not attempt to deposit this payment! The funds will be returned to the sender if you are unable to verify access to your mobile phone. Instead, please ask the sender to edit the mobile number by clicking Activity and editing the transaction.
There are two reasons why Automatic Deposit may not work for incoming payments:
— The payment was sent to an email address or mobile number not currently in your Popmoney profile. Please click My Profile to add and verify additional email addresses or mobile numbers.
— Also, as an extra security precaution, the sender is sometimes required to provide your mobile number when they schedule the payment; you need to verify access to this mobile number in order to receive the payment, even though you have Automatic Deposit enabled.
You have 10 days from the send date to provide your Eligible Transaction Account information. When a payment expires, the funds are returned to the sender. Please contact your sender to request another payment if you still wish to receive the funds.
If the sender sends the money using your email address or mobile phone number, you will receive an email or text message with instructions on how to deposit the payment into your Eligible Transaction Account. If the sender uses your Eligible Transaction Account information, the money will be deposited directly into your Eligible Transaction Account. In that case, you will only receive a notification if the sender enters an optional message when submitting the payment.
Your primary email address will be the email address used for all communications with Popmoney.
By adding multiple email addresses or mobile numbers, you can receive payments made to them. For example, this is helpful for individuals who have separate email addresses or mobile numbers for personal friends and work colleagues.
Automatic Deposit is the easiest and fastest way to receive money. It allows you to designate one Eligible Transaction Account into which payments from all participating financial institutions will be automatically deposited. Once turned on, there's nothing more for you to do – you will be notified of incoming payments via email or text message, the payment will be sent into your designated Eligible Transaction Account. You can edit Automatic Deposit settings in My Profile.
You may be able to access Popmoney at multiple financial institutions. If you have enabled Automatic Deposit for the same email address or mobile number at more than one site, then the most recent Automatic Deposit setting will be in effect, overriding any previous Automatic Deposit settings associated with that particular email address or mobile number.
