Direct deposit of your paycheck is the fastest, safest and most convenient
way to get your wages into your checking or savings account. No more worrying
about lost checks, waiting in line to make deposits, or delays if you are on
vacation or out of town. Direct deposit puts your money to work faster,
too.
Direct deposit eliminates mail delays and is safer. Did you know that
almost all mail theft takes place after mail is delivered? Direct deposit
erases this worry. Direct deposit can be used for your payroll checks, Social
Security payments and other government checks.
Most employers make signing up for direct deposit of your payroll check
easy. Speak with your payroll or human resources department. Usually with
your financial institution account number, you can sign up in just a few
minutes. For Social Security or other government payments, call the agency to
get the form.
Saving time, putting your money to work faster, eliminating the risk of
theft, or eliminating another "trip to the bank" will make your
financial life easier.
