Why doesn't my bank account show as available for online cash into checking transactions?

In order to help prevent fraud, we verify your bank account information through our payment system when you pay your Discover Card bill online or with a check. If your bank account isn't displayed as available for an online cash into checking deposit, it is because your account has not yet been verified. All you have to do to have your account verified is to pay your Discover Card bill, online or by check, three times within 12 months. Please allow 30 days for processing of payments.
