# Adding a Bank Account

> You can add a business bank account to your PEX account in order to transfer money between the two accounts.

After adding the bank information, you will need to verify access to the new bank account, either by using Instant Account Verification, or by using micro-deposits verification. PEX strongly recommends Instant Account Verification which works with most major bank providers.
