Account Access gives you a secure and easy way to give trusted people access to your Bluevine account so you can share the work and focus on growing your business.
How Account Access Can Support Your Business
- Scale your business. Share access with your co-owner, delegate responsibilities to a trusted employee with significant financial authority, or provide your accountant or bookkeeper with access to account information.
- Protect your account. You control access, can remove it at any time, and have peace of mind knowing your personal account details are secure.
User Types & Permissions
Administrator - The Administrator is the primary individual who created the Bluevine account. They have full permission to all account actions and are responsible for adding and maintaining any Additional Users.
Additional Users Types
- Authorized User(s) - Authorized User(s) can only be initiated and invited by the Administrator. Authorized Users have their own account permissions which are dictated by the Account Owner, but permissions can be removed or changed by the Administrator at any time. Authorized Users have their own dedicated login credentials, so the Administrator’s login information and personal account details remain secure.
- Accountant - This role is a type of Additional User, designed specifically for your business’s accountant or bookkeeper. An Accountant may only be initiated and invited by the Administrator and will have its own dedicated login credentials. The Accountant will have more limited permissions than the Administrator and Authorized User. Please note, the Accountant role will be implemented in phases, beginning with our beta stage, which is not available to all account holders. As a result, your Bluevine account may not include this feature until it is rolled out to all users. We appreciate your understanding and patience as our teams work to ensure this feature meets your needs and expectations. If you would like to request to be a part of the beta, please send us a message using the Contact Us form with the subject line of “Account Access Interest”.

Adding an Authorized user
The Administrator can grant Additional Users access via the Profile & Settings section within their Bluevine Dashboard. Use the following steps to add an Authorized User or Accountant role.
- Sign in to your Bluevine Dashboard3
- Select Profile & Settings located on the left-hand toolbar
- Select the Account Access tab4
- Select Invite user:
- To protect your information, complete the MFA requirement
- Select the + button next to New user
- Enter in the additional user’s First and Last Name and Email Address
- Select the applicable user access from the Role drop-down menu
- Select the Acknowledgement of Responsibility for the Authorized user’s actions1
- Select Invite:
- An invitation will be sent to the new user to accept the account invitation.
- Once the Additional User accepts the invitation, they’ll be prompted to accept our registration terms and privacy policy, create a login password, and input their date of birth. The Additional User’s login email will be the email you added in Step 7.
- The Additional User will now be granted account access based on the role type you selected in Step 8.
Editing or Removing an Additional User
The Administrator can edit or remove any Additional User via the Profile & Setting sections within their Bluevine Dashboard. Use the following steps to edit or remove an Additional User.
- Sign in to your Bluevine Dashboard
- Select Profile & Settings located on the left-hand toolbar
- Select the Account Access tab
- Locate the Additional User you’d like to edit or remove
- Select the three dots located to the right of the Additional Users Information
- Depending on the action you wish to complete, select Edit or Delete:
- Follow the prompts to complete the action
- If you deleted the user, you will receive an email confirming the deletion.
1: The Account Owner may add Additional Users to their account using the Account Access feature. The Account Owner is responsible for all authorized transactions initiated and fees incurred by use of the Account. If an individual (including but not limited to Authorized User(s)) is permitted access to the account, account number(s), or PIN, Bluevine will treat this as if the Account Owner has authorized such use and the Customer will be liable for all transactions and fees incurred by such person(s). The Account Owner is wholly responsible for the use of Account according to the terms and conditions of the Bluevine Business Checking Account Agreement. Bluevine is not responsible for any action taken by any Additional User and the Account Owner agrees to indemnify Bluevine in connection with any action taken by any Additional User. The Account Owner is responsible for terminating any Additional User's access using the Account Access feature. Bluevine may continue to recognize an Additional User's authority until Bluevine has received and has had a reasonable time to act upon and process an access termination request from the Account Owner. See the Bluevine Business Checking Account Agreement for more information.
