Important Information about this Tool

If a school is not assigned as the Account Owner for any bank accounts, transactions for that school are deposited into the District bank accounts.
When adding a new Bank Account (not a Bank Account ID), the Bank Account goes through a validation process when the first deposit is made to that bank. If the deposit is successful, the Bank Account is validated and all deposits going forward are processed normally. If the first deposit fails, Campus labels the bank Invalid and sends a Process Alert with the subject "New Bank Account Invalid - ACTION NEEDED." Clicking on the Process Alert will take you to the Payments Setup tool where you can edit the invalid Bank Account. After you edit the Bank Account, the the Bank Account goes through the validation process again.
You cannot delete a Bank Account if transactions have already occurred; however, you can inactivate the Bank Account.
Once a Bank Account is made inactive, it cannot be made active again.

Inactivate a Bank Account

CAUTION

When a Bank Account is made inactive, Campus also deactivates all Fund Accounts associated with the Bank Account.

This action cannot be undone. Once a Bank Account is inactive, it cannot be made active again.

The payments platform may still need to deposit money to your Bank Account if there are transactions that have not completed. If you have closed your account with your financial institution, future disbursements from the payments platform to the inactive Bank Account will fail.

If you are creating new Bank Accounts in Campus, first attach your Fund Account IDs to the new Bank Account in Campus. Then you must wait until all payment transactions are deposited into the old Bank Account. Once all deposits for the old Bank Account are complete, you can inactivate the old Bank Account in Campus.
