Bank Account Requirements and Failed Payments

To ensure timely remittance and to avoid penalties, Numeral asks that you check the following with your bank before your first filing:

In addition to these asks, it would also be best practice to monitor your account each period to make sure the expected amount of funds are withdrawn.

Numeral initiates separate transactions between you and each state you are filing in. We do not withdraw the funds in bulk and hold them in a Numeral bank account. We will be unable to see if any debits fail at the time of the transaction.

The states also do not provide instant feedback, as these transactions can take 3-5 business days to fully process. In some states, failed payments or balances aren’t even visible online, meaning Numeral will not be notified of a payment issue until a state mails a notice, which is usually a few months and hundreds in penalties later.

If you ever need to update the banking information in your Numeral dashboard, it can be done by:

Please run through the same checklist above each time you change account information with Numeral. The best window to make these changes will be at the end of a month after filings are complete, or at the beginning of a month before they begin.

To minimize payment bounces, please reach out to your bank and add the ACH Originator ID's to your account for the states you file in:
