What is Real-Time Verification in Webull

Let’s get into more details below-

You can complete the ACH Verifications Process on Webull by either Real-time Verification or Micro-deposit verification. Webull ACH uses Plaid to link and verify your bank account instantly.

Before your first deposit via ACH, you will have to link a bank account. There are two methods to link your bank account:

• 1. Instant Account Verification or Real Time Verifications-

This process happens in real-time and helps Webull to verify your account identity instantly.

In this process, you have to log in to your Bank’s Online Banking app, enter your login details, and that’s it.

Webull will verify your bank account instantly, and now you can transfer funds from your bank account to Webull and get started with the trading.

• 2. Micro-deposit Verification-

The second type of verification process that is slow and usually takes 1-2 business days is Micro-deposit verification.

In this case,Webull will deposit some money into your bank account to verify that it’s you.

So, you would require information like your routing number, bank account number, which you can get from your check.

Once you submit the details of your bank, Webull will send you micro-deposits, it usually takes about two business days. When they send a deposit, you have to come back in here and input what was sent to you.

They usually send something like 32 cents or 68 cents. So, once you get that amount in your bank account, log in to the app and input that information.
