# How to Send Your Validation Transfer from a US Account (Wire & ACH)

#### Account validation in the US might require a verifiable data handshake directly through your bank.

#### **Accuracy matters here**: nsKnox uses separate, specialized accounts to collect Wire and ACH data, so sending the wrong transfer type to the wrong account will cause your validation to fail. Use this article to find the right instructions for your situation.

### **Frequently Asked Questions**

**Q1. Why am I being asked to send a transfer to nsKnox?**

Receiving a transfer allows nsKnox to collect limited, verifiable banking data from trusted sources to prove you're the true owner of the account. This is a critical security step that cannot be bypassed.

**Q2. Can I use PayPal, Zelle, Wise, or a physical check?**

No. We can't accept third-party payment providers (Zelle, PayPal, Wise, Airwallex, etc.) or physical checks. Validation requires a standard ACH or Wire transfer sent directly from your bank.

**Q3. Do I have to use my registered account for the transfer, and what if it's “Receivables Only”?**

Ideally, yes - send the transfer from the account you registered. If that account can only receive funds (a “Receivables Only” account), you may send the transfer from your Payables account instead, provided it's registered under the exact same legal company name.

If you'd like to use a Payables account, [contact support](https://47jqs.share.hsforms.com/2Bw5Wf-VnTEqjPF9p6o3nPg) so we can link the transfer to your registered Receivables account correctly.

**Q4. I sent the transfer, but nsKnox hasn’t received it. What do I do?**

Please [send us](https://47jqs.share.hsforms.com/2Bw5Wf-VnTEqjPF9p6o3nPg) a bank slip or remittance advice. It should include the date, amount, receiving account number, beneficiary name, and the SWIFT/Routing code used.

**Q5. What should I do if I can’t find the transfer after sending it?**

If you've checked your records and the funds are still missing after the standard processing window, we'll need to re-verify your banking information on file. Reply to our email with a Bank Letter — an official document from your bank confirming your account details.

**Q6. My bank isn’t listed for Instant Validation. What do I do?**

If your bank isn't supported for Instant & Online validation, select the “Mini-Payment Bank Account Validation” option on the registration portal to proceed with the manual transfer method instead.

**Q7. Can I just “Return” or “Reverse” the transfer nsKnox sent me?**

No. We can't accept returns, rejections, or reversals. You'll need to initiate a fresh credit transaction (Wire or ACH) to provide the data points required for validation.

**Q8. My bank has a minimum transfer limit higher than your test amount. How do I proceed?**

Initiate a transfer for your bank's minimum required amount and let us know once it's sent. We'll complete the validation and refund the difference. Note that we don't refund standard bank fees associated with the transfer.

**Q9. What should I do if my company can’t complete the required ACH transfer?**

If your banking system or internal policies prevent you from sending an ACH credit, you can validate using a Wire or Fedwire transfer instead. Reply to our team's latest email so we can send the correct documentation.

**IMPORTANT:** *Wire instructions are entirely different from the ACH instructions you originally received — they use different routing and account numbers. Use only the wire instructions attached to our response to avoid your payment being lost or rejected.*

**Q10. What should I do if my company can’t complete a Wire transfer?**

If you can't process an international or domestic wire, you can complete validation using a standard ACH transfer instead. Contact our validation team by replying to your email, and we'll send the necessary ACH forms.

**IMPORTANT:** *ACH instructions are entirely different from the wire instructions you previously received. Use only the ACH instructions provided in our follow-up email so your transfer registers correctly and validates your account.*

**Q11. My transfer failed because I sent a Wire to an ACH-only account (or vice versa). What now?**

We maintain separate accounts for Wire and ACH to collect specific data. Sending a Wire to an ACH account (or the reverse) doesn't provide the data we need, so you'll need to initiate a new transfer to the correct account type shown in our instructions.

**Q12. Why are Wire and ACH instructions different? Can’t I just use one for both?**

No. We use specific “collector” accounts at different banks (e.g., Bank of America vs. Chase) that are configured to capture different types of electronic data. Sending a Wire to an ACH-only account often results in the data being masked, which prevents us from completing your validation.

**⚠ HOLD — SECURITY/FRAUD REVIEW REQUIRED:** This answer names specific banking partners. Confirm with Security/Fraud and your banking partners whether naming them in fully public, indexed content is acceptable, or genericize to “different banking partners” pending that review.

**Q13. What should I do if nsKnox tells me the validation transfer to my account was unsuccessful?**

An unsuccessful transfer usually means there's a discrepancy in the banking details on file. To resolve it and re-attempt the transfer, please provide an official Bank Letter so our finance team can verify your information.

**Q14. My bank says the SWIFT code is incorrect.**

Please double-check the instructions in our initial email. If a SWIFT code was entered incorrectly, initiate a new transfer using the corrected code our team provides.

**Q15. What is “Instant & Online” validation?**

This method uses the Mastercard network to verify your account through your online banking login. It's faster than a manual transfer and often avoids the need for one entirely.
