2. How Direct Deposit Works

ClickBank's payment preferences make receiving your payments easy. Now, based on your needs, you can receive your payments via check or Direct Deposit. Rather than having to wait for postal services to deliver your check, Direct Deposit allows you to receive your payment in a few short days. Plus, Direct Deposit payments are made in your local currency, allowing you to avoid unnecessary bank fees.

In order to best explain how to use Direct Deposit, first the "rules" outlining its use are defined and then step-by-step instructions for implementation are detailed.

2.1 United States Direct Deposit (ACH) Rules

The following business rules apply to ClickBank United States direct deposit. Please be sure to review them prior to enabling direct deposit. Direct deposit is a subset of our existing payment features; therefore, to ensure you're viewing the most current rules please review the ClickBank Accounting Policy.

Payment Default

By default, all payouts are mailed via check to the legal address listed in your account. To switch to ACH to receive your payments, you must elect to enable ACH within your account (see section 2.3).

Direct Deposit Distribution Requirements

An account must first receive three paper paychecks within any 90-day period before it is eligible to enroll in direct deposit.

Timing

Once sent, payments may take 1-2 business days to reach your account, although many United States direct deposits are received on the same day that we send them.

Payment Change Deadlines

Changes to your payment preference will not affect your next payment unless the change is made by the applicable payment deadline. Specifically,

  • For periods ending the 1st of the month, with payments sent at mid-month of the same month, your information must be received prior to the 8th of the same month.
  • For periods ending the 16th of the month, with payments sent at month-end, your information must be received prior to the 23rd of the same month.

Direct Deposit Failure

When an ACH payout fails to reach you due to invalid banking information, ClickBank automatically resets your account to payment by paper check and mails your payment via check to the legal address listed in your account.
