Overview
Dockwa offers two ways to connect your U.S. bank account for ACH payments: instant verification (via Stripe) and manual verification.
This article covers the manual process, which uses micro-deposits to verify your account. With this method, Stripe sends a small test deposit containing a unique 4-character code. You’ll confirm that code in Dockwa to complete setup. This process usually takes 1–2 business days.
Steps to Verify Your Bank Account
1. Select Manual Bank Setup
When adding a payment method, choose “U.S. Bank Account.”
Enter your email address and full name.
Select “Enter bank details manually instead.”
2. Provide Bank Information
Enter your routing number and account number.
Click Continue.
3. Review & Continue
You will then see the verification has been initiated.
Select “Continue with Dockwa”.
4. Wait for the Micro-Deposit
You will then see a summary screen. Review the information and ensure it is correct.
Click Save.
Within 1–2 business days, a small deposit will appear in your bank account.
The deposit description will include a unique 4-character code.
5. Confirm in Dockwa
Once you receive the micro-deposit in your bank account:
Return to Dockwa and go to Payment Methods.
You’ll see your bank account listed with an “Action Needed” banner.
Click the blue “Confirm” button.
6. Enter the Micro-Deposit Code
Type the 4-character code exactly as it appears in your bank statement. The code is the 4 characters after "SM". It looks something like this:
Click Save and Verify.
7. Verification Complete
Once verified, your bank account will be ready for ACH payments through Dockwa. The banner will turn green.
