How do I add a Shared Access user?

Shared Access lets you give another person access to selected accounts in your online banking profile. You can choose which accounts they can see and what actions they can take.

Before you begin
You'll need the shared access user's:

  • First and last name
  • Email address
  • Phone number

Add a shared access user using online banking

  1. Select Profile & Settings.
  2. Select Login preferences.
  3. Under Shared access, select Manage.
  4. On the Manage Users page, select Add User.
  5. Enter the new user's:
    • First and last name
    • Email address
    • Phone number
  6. Select Continue.
  7. If the person already uses U.S. Bank online banking, they can use their existing username to access shared accounts.
    Note: If you're giving Shared Access to an authorized user, select Create a new usbank.com username during setup. Shared accounts will appear as Shared Access accounts, not authorized-user accounts.
  8. Select the accounts the user can access, then Continue.
  9. For each selected account, choose an access level:
    • View only: The user can view account information but cannot make transactions.
    • Transactions allowed: The user can view account information and perform eligible transactions.
    • Select Learn more for additional details about each access level.
