Most applicants complete their Payscore verification in just a few minutes, whether you choose to connect a bank account or connect a payroll provider.


Typical timeline

  • Choose how you want to verify your income (bank or payroll): < 1 minute

  • Connect your bank account or payroll provider: 1โ€“3 minutes

  • Authorize access: ~30 seconds

  • Payscore analyzes your income data: 1โ€“2 minutes

  • Total in most cases: 3โ€“8 minutes


Why timing can vary

The process may take a little longer if:

  • Your bank or payroll provider requires additional security steps (such as a one-time code)

  • You have multiple accounts or pay sources

  • You pause to review details before submitting

Once you complete the connection, Payscore finishes the analysis automatically.


After you finish

When verification is complete:

  • Youโ€™ll see a confirmation screen

  • Your results are securely shared with the person reviewing your application

  • Your application can move forward

If the process takes longer than expected (for example, more than 10 minutes), try closing your browser or app and starting again. If you continue to have trouble, contact support.
