Introduction to bank details

How to access the Tax Information form

1. Go to Settings -> Tax Information by clicking on the circle with your avatar, then Settings -> Tax Information.


2. From there, you will see a dropdown menu that allows you to select the country in which you file taxes in.




Keep in mind that your SSN, Full name, and Address are all mandatory fields and you won't be able to save your changes if these fields are not filled in properly.

When selecting "Other" from the country selection dropdown menu, the mandatory field will now be the Federal Tax information Number.



Please note that "Federal Tax Information Number" is a generic way of referring to the number used in your country to identify taxpayers – You should use your countries own way of tax identification document.

FAQ - Signing up with an International Bank Account 

What is an IBAN? 

IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is used as a standard format across the UK, Europe, and many other countries to streamline and standardize international payments.


How do I find my IBAN? 

If you don't know your IBAN, you should be able to find it by logging on to your online banking or mobile banking, selecting an account, and viewing the account details. It may also be found on your paper account statement.


Will there be an issue if the name on my Worksuite account is different than the name linked to my bank account? 

Please make sure the name associated with your Worksuite account also matches your linked bank account. For example, there may be payment delays if your individual name is listed in Worksuite but your bank account is under your business name. If your name in Worksuite does not match the name on your linked bank account, please contact payments@worksuite.com as soon as possible.
