Direct Deposit

Keep Your Account Current

Failing to notify us of a change of address or banking information can result in missing payments.

When to Update Your Account
Suspension of Pay

Direct deposit is the most efficient, timely and secure way to receive your pay. It eliminates the possibility of a lost or stolen check, reduce the opportunity for identity theft, and receive your payment in a more timely and efficient manner.

There are two ways to update your direct deposit information. Before you begin, make sure you have your bank routing number, account number, and type of account (checking or savings) readily available.
