Authorizing Bluebridge deposits

When you add or edit an ACH payment method (Profile → Tax & Finance → Payment methods → Edit ACH), below the Account holder name field there's a checkbox labeled Authorize Bluebridge to deposit payments to this account. This is consent, not banking info — and it's off by default.

What checking it does

Checking it tells Bluebridge you're OK with us initiating an ACH deposit to that bank account. It's per-payment-method, so if you have multiple ACH rows, each one carries its own opt-in. The other payment kinds (Zelle, Venmo, Check) don't have this checkbox because Bluebridge doesn't initiate transfers on them.

When Bluebridge actually deposits

Two conditions both have to be true for Bluebridge to deposit to your account:

• The event you officiated is powered by Bluebridge — i.e. the assignor set it up to use Bluebridge for payment, with a fee mode and structured per-official pay.
• You have the Authorize Bluebridge to deposit payments to this account box checked on your ACH method.

Without both, Bluebridge does not initiate any deposit. On events that aren't powered by Bluebridge, the assignor pays you off-platform exactly as they always have, regardless of this checkbox. The checkbox is irrelevant on those events.

Revoking authorization

You can revoke at any time in two ways: uncheck the box and save, or delete the ACH method entirely. Either action takes effect immediately — Bluebridge won't initiate any new deposits to that account after the change. Deposits already in flight at the moment of revocation complete normally; ACH doesn't have a built-in mechanism to recall money mid-transit.
