Benefits of Direct Deposit - Make the Switch

The vast majority of employees in the United States are paid with direct deposit because of its cost and convenience benefits to both employers and employees.

Direct deposit is a method of payment of wages where the employer electronically transfers into your checking or savings account. Employers and employees often choose this payment method because of its convenience, security, and efficiency.

Direct deposit benefits for you include:

• Reduced chance of losing checks or having them stolen
• No need to spend time visiting your credit union or ATM to deposit checks
• Payments can be divided automatically among designated employee accounts
• There is no cost to employees for direct deposit.
