If this is a checking or savings account, a message from your financial institution will display, indicating that additional steps must be completed. The new account displays on the list. Notice that this account is awaiting approval from your financial institution. Once it is approved the status will display “approved and awaiting confirmation.” Once the two small deposits are made into this account you will see an icon on this screen that, when clicked, will allow you to input the small deposit amounts. This will confirm the account, and you will then be able to transfer from and to it on the Transfer Funds screen you saw earlier. Hover over the Transfers tab.

Next, let’s quickly review the View Transfers option.

This screen allows you to view pending transfers and transfer history. The Options link next to a pending transfer allows you to view the details of the transfer, or to edit, copy, or delete the transfer. The Options link next to a transfer history record allows you to view the details of the transfer, or to copy the transfer.  You also have the option to send a message to your financial institution from this menu.

Congratulations. You have successfully completed this training.
