Confirming a deposit
Once you have provided your bank account information, TELUS Health will attempt to make a small deposit to your account; this is known as a penny deposit, as the amount will be under a dollar—“just pennies”. When TELUS Health is notified that the deposit was made, it will update the status of your account to Account pending confirmation in progress. This process can take up to 48 hours.
Before you can confirm your deposit, you must contact your bank to determine the exact amount of the deposit and the obtain the confirmation information associated with that deposit. If you use online banking, log in to your bank account and find the deposit in your list of transactions. If your bank provides a printed statement, look for the deposit there.
