# 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.

45+
## 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.
