# Set up your banking information

You can set up your banking information before or while accepting an offer. The same profile area also shows identity verification status when your payment provider requires it.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can't accept job offers without completing the required payment, tax, and identity verification steps on your profile.
{% endhint %}
