# Add a bank account

> Add the bank account where your fiat payouts will land.

Adding a bank account is the final onboarding step before your wallets appear and you can run your first offramp.

## Supported regions

Veil asks which region your bank is in and adapts the form accordingly. Supported options at this time:

| Region                | Rail            | Currency       |
| --------------------- | --------------- | -------------- |
| Eurozone              | SEPA            | EUR            |
| United Kingdom        | Faster Payments | GBP            |
| United States         | ACH / Fedwire   | USD            |
| Other & International | SWIFT           | Multi-currency |

The account must be in your own name. Veil matches the name on file against your KYC-verified identity.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the bank account form">
    After your identity is verified, onboarding moves to the bank-account step. Click **Add a bank account** to open the form.

    Veil fetches the exact fields required for your region and currency, then renders them inside the form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in your bank details">
    Enter the details shown — for example, an IBAN and BIC for SEPA, a sort code and account number for UK Faster Payments, or a routing number and account number for ACH. The fields adapt to your region.

    All fields are required. Double-check the account number — a typo here means a payout goes to the wrong account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit">
    Veil registers your bank account. Onboarding completes, your dashboard opens, and the account is listed as your primary payout destination.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After you submit

Your first bank account is available immediately for offramp. Accounts you add later go through a short cooldown period before they can be used — this is a security measure to guard against unauthorized changes. The dashboard shows a countdown badge on any account in cooldown.

## Adding more accounts later

Your first bank account is added during onboarding. Once you're in the dashboard, you can add secondary accounts from the bank accounts section and choose which one receives each offramp. See [Bank accounts](/concepts/bank-accounts) for how Veil routes payouts when you have more than one.
