# Sharing a business bank account in Expensify
10
+
11
+
If you’ve already added a business bank account, you can share access to that account with other Workspace Admins. This eliminates the need to repeat the full setup process.
12
+
13
+
## Who can share a business bank account in Expensify
14
+
15
+
Only **Workspace Admins** can share an existing business bank account. You can only share accounts that have been verified.
16
+
17
+
## Where to find the business bank account sharing option
18
+
19
+
Go to the navigation tabs and select **Settings > Wallet**.
20
+
21
+
## How to share a business bank account
22
+
23
+
To share an existing account with other admins:
24
+
25
+
1. Open **Settings > Wallet**.
26
+
2. Click the **three-dot menu (⋮)** next to the bank account you want to share.
27
+
3. Select **Share**.
28
+
4. On the Share screen:
29
+
- The list shows only Workspace Admins from workspaces where you also have admin access.
30
+
5. Select the admins you want to share with, then click **Share**.
31
+
6. You’ll see a confirmation screen once the share is successful.
32
+
33
+
**Note:** You’ll only see Admins of workspaces where you’re also an admin in the list.

## What happens after sharing a business bank account
46
+
47
+
- The shared-to admins will receive a Concierge message letting them know the account was shared.
48
+
- They’ll now see the account in their **Wallet**.
49
+
50
+
**For US accounts:**
51
+
- The shared account appears with an **Action required** badge.
52
+
- The shared-to admin will need to **validate** the account by entering test transactions.
53
+
- After validation, they can begin using it.
54
+
55
+
**For non-US accounts:**
56
+
- The shared account is ready to use immediately — no test transactions required.

# FAQ
59
+
60
+
## Why share a business bank account?
61
+
62
+
Sharing saves time. You don’t have to redo the full verification process, and it makes it easier to:
63
+
- Change the workspace payer
64
+
- Set up new Workspaces
65
+
- Enable reimbursements without delay
66
+
67
+
## Can I share the same bank account with multiple admins?
68
+
69
+
Yes. You can share a bank account with multiple admins at once.
70
+
71
+
## Why don’t I see the Share option?
72
+
73
+
You’ll only see **Share** if the bank account is verified and there is at least one eligible Workspace Admin you haven’t shared with yet.
74
+
75
+
## What if the other admin already has a copy of the account?
76
+
77
+
If an admin already has access to the bank account, they won’t appear in the share list.
78
+
79
+
## Can a shared admin share the bank account with others?
80
+
81
+
Yes — once an admin has validated the account (if required), they can share the bank account with other admins.
