Before you can pay workers, you need to connect a funding source so Shor has somewhere to pull money from. Today, that’s done by connecting your company’s bank account to the virtual account Shor creates for your business.

​
How Funding Works

When your company is approved, Shor provisions a virtual account for you. This is a dedicated account Shor manages on your behalf and uses to send payments to your workers. You move money into it from an external business bank account that you connect.
1

Connect a Bank Account

Go to Finance → Connections and click Connect Bank Account. You’ll be guided through a secure flow to link your business bank account.
2

Verify the Connection

Depending on your bank, verification happens either instantly via a login, or by confirming small test deposits that appear in your account.
3

Move Money In

Once the connection is active, Shor will debit the connected bank account when you approve a payroll or send a payment. You can also pre-fund your virtual account ahead of a large run.

​
Your Virtual Account

Your virtual account is where funds sit between being debited from your bank and being sent to your workers. You can see the balance and movement in Finance → Accounts.
A dedicated virtual account gives each payment a clean audit trail, keeps your operating cash separate from your payroll float, and lets Shor handle multi-currency and international payouts without touching your primary bank.
Not usually. For most payrolls, Shor initiates the debit from your connected bank in time for funds to clear before the pay date. For large or time-sensitive runs, you can pre-fund to avoid any timing risk.
Workers can be paid in their local currency. Shor handles the conversion from your funding currency and shows you the FX rate before you confirm each payroll.

​
Payment Timing

Payment timing depends on the destination country and payout method. Shor shows you the estimated arrival date for every payment before you approve it.
If a bank debit fails (for example, because of insufficient funds) Shor pauses the affected payroll and emails you. The run resumes once funding is in place.

​
Connections Tab

The Finance → Connections tab shows every bank account you’ve linked, its status, and which one is being used as your primary funding source. You can connect additional accounts at any time.
