Signing up for ACH/EFT/Direct Deposit

Want to receive donations from Bright Funds via wire instead of a mailed check? Here, we share how you can sign up. (Note: this is only for US-based nonprofits.)

Create an account

The first thing to do is sign up for Bright Network. If you are not yet registered for Bright Network, you can visit the registration page here to get started.

Note: if the "Register" button is greyed out, that means your nonprofit account has already been registered by someone at your nonprofit.

If you are already registered, below are the steps under Signing up for ACH/EFT/direct deposit

Account no longer in use?

If your nonprofit's email login is no longer active, please contact our Nonprofit team at [e-mail] to help with updating your login. You will need to provide the below details:

• Former login email
• Preferred email login
• IRS Letter of Determination
• First page of form 990

Signing up for ACH/EFT/direct deposit

Once logged into Bright Network:

1. Click Profile
2. Scroll to the bottom and complete the Bank Details section
3. Upload one of the forms listed in the table for validation

Once submitted, the Nonprofit team will work to verify your account. If you receive the deposit, no further action is needed on your end. If we have any trouble verifying your account, the Nonprofit team will follow up with an email.

Updating your ACH/EFT/direct deposit

New account information? You can update your banking information using the steps above.

Please note that while the account number box may appear to be "greyed", you are able to make changes to that text box.
