How Does Direct Deposit Work?
Direct deposit allows employers to transfer your paycheck directly into your account, giving you access to your money as soon as it’s sent.
It’s easy and convenient, and because there are no paper checks, it reduces the possibility of losing or damaging a paycheck, or having it stolen. Most employers use direct deposit alongside electronic pay stubs, so you still have a record of salary, taxes and contributions.
How to Set Up Direct Deposit
To receive direct deposit payments, your employer will need certain account information. They may have a specific form for you to fill out or ask for a voided check. You’ll likely need to provide your account information online.
