Has a client ever asked you to put your bank info for direct deposit on your invoice? I’m guessing this is my account number and routing number.

If you are worried they might be scammers and/ or will try to fraudulently withdraw funds, your bank might have advice on what protections are in place for you, too.

Thank you! I’ll give them a call.

I always have my bank info (acct number + routing) on my invoices.

Not on an invoice but I’ve definitely filled out my share of ACH forms with that info. Routing number and acct number should be all that’s needed. If they’re asking for Social Security number, mother’s maiden name, or the name of your first pet, just make them pay in cash. :)

Seems pretty normal to me. I think there might be an additional number you need for foreign transactions (which varies bank to bank) I can’t remember what it’s called though

Thank you!

Yes, routing and account numbers.

Thanks. This is a new company I’m potentially working for remotely with primary offices in China and my concern is that giving them my account and routing number on my invoice as requested might be unsafe or somehow give them access to my funds?

I may be too worried here

Here in Europe it’s absolutely normal to give bank info (IBAN) to your clients, friends, landlords. I find it really odd when I first moved here 🤷‍♀️ but hey, it works.

Is Operations paid the least at your respective firms? I was hired to a Client Service Delivery role with a heavy focus on project management.

But, I am aligned to the “Operations” capability and make the least of my teammates who perform seemingly identical work but are aligned to “Strategy and Consulting.” I worry I’m on a career path to being paid the least wherever I go, because Operations is in my title and background.
