How do I link my bank account for Online Payments?

The Online Payments feature allows participants to link one or more bank accounts to their stock plan account. This can be used to fund payments for the following: taxes, fees, RSUs or options when completing an exercise or transaction in your stock plan account.

If your company has added you to the Savings Plan setup for online payments, you will see a link to Add Funds when viewing your saving plan.

Alternatively, you can add your bank account by clicking the following: Profile > Manage Deposit Account

There are two options when linking an account:

1. Instant Link

   • This flow will allow you to enter your online banking credentials and then use your account to immediately add funds to your stock plan account.

   • Some financial institutions are not supported. If you are unable to find your bank or receive an error attaching your account, you will need to utilize the Manual Link method.

2. Manual Link (3-4 business days)

   • Once you manually input your banking information, it will trigger Morgan Stanley at Work to transmit 2 small deposit requests to your bank.

   • Once the requests are received, you will need to log back into your stock plan account to confirm the amounts and complete the process of attaching the account.

   • The manual process typically takes 3-4 business days.

   • It is recommended to complete this process well in advance of any exercise deadlines to ensure it is finalized before funds are required.
