5. Enter your bank account number and routing number to receive your two micro-deposits
6. After you've received the microdeposits, verify the amounts in the Micro-Deposit Verification page inside the Webull app.

The micro-deposit verification process can take up to 2 business days. You'll need to have your bank linked to Webull before you can withdraw money out of your Webull account.
