When switching your deposit method on Amazon Seller Central, there are several steps you will need to take to reduce the risk of Amazon identifying this change as unauthorized activity. We highly recommend making this change at least 3 days (as Amazon's review of your new deposit account may take up to three days) before your next scheduled payment date with Viably. Amazon has very stringent rules around changing your deposit method, to help mitigate risk or fraudulent attempts on your account, so we encourage you to follow the below steps to reduce any flags by Amazon.
