Overview

Updating your bank details in Amazon Seller Central is a routine task, but confirming that the new information has been applied is essential. An unverified change can cause payouts to be delayed, sent to the wrong account, or even trigger a hold on your funds. This guide explains how sellers can confirm that their bank account update is live and what to expect during the short processing window.

Key Points

• Location of verification — After you submit new banking data, the Deposit Methods page under Settings → Account Info shows the current payout account; this is the single place to confirm the change.
• Processing window — Amazon typically needs up to two business days to validate and activate a new bank account, so the update will not appear instantly.
• Impact on upcoming payouts — While the change is pending, Amazon may continue to send the next scheduled disbursement to the previously saved account, or it may place the payment on hold until verification finishes.
• What you’ll see — Once the update is complete, the Deposit Methods screen displays the bank name and the last four digits of the new account number, masking the rest for security.
• Timing recommendation — To avoid any interruption, schedule the bank‑account change right after a payout cycle ends, giving the system the full two‑day window before the next disbursement is due.
• Common error triggers — Mistyped routing numbers, misspelled account‑holder names, or providing a non‑ACH‑compatible account will cause the verification to fail silently, leaving the old details unchanged.

How to Verify Your Bank Account Update

1. Log in and reach Account Info — Sign into Seller Central, click the Settings gear in the upper right, then choose Account Info from the dropdown.
2. Open Deposit Methods — Within the Account Information page, locate the Payment Information heading and select Deposit Methods; this page lists every payout method currently on file.
