# Step 4: Making your first deposit

Welcome to AllScale! Before running payroll or collecting payments, you’ll need to fund your account. Here's a quick guide to help you confidently complete your **first deposit**.

***

#### 🧠 Before You Begin

* ✅ Make sure you’re using a USD **business bank account** (personal accounts may be flagged or rejected).
* 🕐 **Transfers may take up to 2 business days** to appear in your AllScale balance, depending on your bank and time zone.
* 🔒 If you’re using a new sender bank account, ensure the name matches your registered AllScale entity.
* 📩 You’ll be able to check your deposit status at [**Deposit History**](/allscale-payroll/modules/dashboard.md#view-deposit-history) (Submitted → In Progress → Deposited).
