# Set up your banking information

You can set up your banking information before or while accepting an offer. Payment methods, tax forms, and identity verification are managed from the same profile area.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can't accept a job offer until its required payment, tax, and identity verification steps are complete. Each job uses either Trolley or Deel as its payment provider, so complete the setup with the provider shown for your offer.
{% endhint %}

### Before accepting an offer
