## How business bank account sharing works when changing the payer

When changing the **Authorized Payer** in a Workspace:
59
+
60
+
- If you have access but the new payer doesn't:
61
+
- You'll be prompted to share the bank account from the Authorized Payer screen.
62
+
- The account shares immediately when you confirm.
63
+
- A confirmation screen appears after successful sharing.
64
+
65
+
- If your own copy of the bank account is pending validation, and you try to assign a new payer who doesn’t have access:
66
+
- You’ll see an error prompting you to **validate your account first** by entering the test transactions before changing payers.
67
+
68
+
- If **neither** you nor the new selected payer has access:
69
+
- You’ll be shown an error telling you to ask the current payer to share the account.
70
+
71
+
This process ensures you can only set an Authorized Payer who already has bank account access or receives access during the payer change.
