What happens after I register my bank account?
When you add a bank account, we will make two small deposits (Micro Payments) to the registered bank account. at the same time, we will
issue one debit to your bank account for the total of the deposits. The deposits and debit will post to your account usually within three
business days from adding your bank account. The deposits and debit will be labeled, “FL Dept of Revenue.” Once the transactions appear in
your bank account, login to this website and select “Verify Bank Account.” Enter the amount of each deposit and click, “Verify.” Once you
enter the amounts correctly, you may then schedule payments for two business days in the future.
Why would the micro payment deposits be returned as unsuccessful?
Most deposits are returned as unsuccessful when the bank account information was entered incorrectly. Re-enter your bank account information
and the deposits and debit will be reissued.
