Step 1: Add the first bank account

• Navigate to Pay in the employee portal

• If no bank account exists, select Add account and enter bank details

• Required fields vary by country

• Select this option to add a second bank account

Step 3: Add the second bank account

• Enter the bank details for the second account

Step 4: Choose a primary account

The remaining portion is automatically routed to the second account.
