Get paid on Gusto with Morse

Connect your Morse account to Gusto to receive payroll as a direct deposit in USD

Before you start

Open the Morse app and tap 'USD account details'. You'll need your routing number and account number for the steps below.

Add Morse as a bank account in Gusto

The steps are the same whether you're an employee or a contractor in Gusto.

  • Sign in to Gusto.

  • Tap 'My Profile' > scroll to the 'Pay' section.

  • Tap 'Add payment method.' Enter:

    • Routing number — from your Morse app

    • Account number — from your Morse app

    • Account type — Checking

    • Make sure the account holder name matches your Gusto profile exactly.

  • Tap 'Save.'

Confirm your account

Gusto sends a test deposit to verify the bank account. Check the Morse app for the amount and enter it in Gusto to confirm. This may take a few days.

Split your payroll between accounts

Gusto supports splitting direct deposits across up to 5 bank accounts. Set the amounts or percentages under 'My Profile' > 'Pay' > 'Split pay.'

Fees and transfer times

Gusto doesn't charge employees or contractors a fee for direct deposits.

Morse charges a 0.1% fee for international deposits to USD Account Details (free if you live in the United States). See Account Details fees and limits for the full breakdown.

Example: If you live outside the US and receive 4,000 USD from Gusto, you'd pay:

  • Gusto fee: 0 USD

  • Morse 0.1% fee: 4.00 USD

  • You receive: 3,996.00 USD

On your next pay date, Gusto sends the deposit to your Morse account via ACH. Transfer time depends on your employer's Gusto plan. Most employers use 2-day or 4-day processing, meaning your deposit arrives 2–4 business days after your employer runs payroll. Some employers offer next-day or same-day pay.

Ask your employer about their pay speed if you're unsure. ACH transfers don't run on weekends or US federal holidays.
