## What SmartAcademy does in the background

The backend validates the banking fields, stores or updates the staff banking record for the selected user, and records the banking update in audit logs.

## Tips

- Confirm account number and IFSC code before saving.
- Banking details do not automatically mark payroll as paid; payment still needs to be recorded in payroll.
