Why Direct Deposit Your Next Paycheck?

There are several key benefits to using direct deposit over other types of deposit methods. First, consider how it works. It is a type of Automated Clearing House (ACH) transaction that is very safe and effective. The money is electronically directed from one account (usually your employer’s) into your checking or savings account. Take into consideration a few key benefits.

• For consumers, direct deposit is faster. You do not have to wait for your paper paycheck to arrive. Many employers set it up so that the funds arrive overnight into your account (once you are on a regular schedule). This means faster, more convenient access to your money. Usually, your money is already in your account when you wake up in the morning on payday!
• You can use direct deposit for nearly all types of deposits. This includes transactions from employers, and investors, as well as from government agencies such as the Social Security Administration. Even pension plans can pay directly into your account.
• It offers a higher level of security as it eliminates possible check fraud. There’s no risk of someone stealing your paper paycheck when the funds are electronically deposited into your account.
• Your payment can’t get lost. Simply, it goes where it needs to go, and it cannot transfer to the wrong account. That gives you peace of mind.
• There’s no need to wait in long lines on payday any longer. Imagine skipping the line every paycheck! And, that deposit happens no matter where you are or what you are doing. You can be on vacation and have your funds arrive in your account so you can use them right away.

From an employer’s standpoint (or a government agency), direct deposit is more cost-effective than using traditional payroll checks. It can reduce the overall cost of money movement significantly and prevent possible fraud.

How Do You Set Up Direct Deposit?

Today’s technology makes setting up your direct deposit simple. You will just need to provide your employer with basic information referencing your credit union account.
