# Source

Source objects represent the funding methods connected to your Plane account. When you need to make a payment, Plane creates a [charge](/reference/charges/object) against one of your sources to collect the money. If a payment needs to be reversed, Plane processes a [refund](/reference/refunds/object) back to the original source.

Your sources can be either external **bank accounts** or your **Plane balance** (funds you've preloaded). You can connect multiple sources and designate one as your default to streamline the payment process.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pending">
    When you first add a source to your account, it starts in `pending` status while Plane verifies the funding method.

    <Info>
      Bank accounts typically require 1-2 business days for verification through micro-deposits or instant verification methods.
    </Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verified">
    Once verification is complete, the source moves to `verified` status and becomes available for payments.

    <Check>
      You can now use this source for charges and it will appear in your available funding methods.
    </Check>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Removed">
    Sources can be permanently removed from your account when they are no longer needed.

    <Warning>
      If you remove a source, you'll need to verify it again if you want to add it back to your account.
    </Warning>
