Edit Bank Accounts
Adjustments can be made to an existing bank account by hovering over the bank account and then selecting Actions. Learn more below!
Edit: Change the disbursement schedule
Set as Default: Replace your existing default bank account with a different one. The default bank account will be attached to all Pages that have not had a specific Fund assigned within the Builder.
Remove: As long as your bank account is not connected to any funds, you may remove it.
If the bank account credentials need to be updated, a new bank account will need to be added to the fundraising account. Bank account credentials cannot be changed once the bank has been added successfully.
Transfer Timeline
When you collect donations from Anedot, your money will be held inside Anedot until your next scheduled transfer occurs.
Transfers are initiated every 2 days, weekly, or monthly depending on your chosen Deposit Schedule. You can change your Deposit Schedule by editing your bank account that was explained above.
Once a transfer has been initiated, it typically takes 2-3 business days for funds to arrive in the bank account file.
To view the status of a Transfer, access the Finance>Transfers tab within your account.
Notice: Fees associated with Billing Agreements are not deducted from the Anedot fundraising account. Once your funds have been transferred and deposited to your bank account, an ACH debit will be issued to deduct the fees associated with the Billing Agreement. The ACH debit will then be deposited directly into the Vendor's account.
If the ACH debit for vendor fees is declined within the bank account, please contact our Support team here for further assistance. Declining the ACH debit will halt transfers of all funds for an account.
