Be Direct Deposit Ready

Description:

Did you know that with direct deposit you will get paid faster and for FREE? Future employers will also want you to be direct deposit ready, and direct deposit helps you save. Save yourself time and money with direct deposit.

Watch the interactive DIRECT DEPOSIT video on the right.

THEN SCROLL DOWN TO COMPLETE A SHORT QUIZ.

If you choose not to enroll in direct deposit and will be using a payroll card, be sure to check out some tips on managing your payroll card (Pay Day Tip Sheet on the right). If you receive a payroll card and want to switch to direct deposit or transfer funds into your bank account, ask your supervisor for instructions.
