If you have been receiving pay via Pay Card and decide to change to direct deposit, you will receive 2 to 3 live checks before your pay begins to be deposited into your bank account. Your Pay Card can only be stopped after setting up direct deposit.

It is also referred to as an ABA number or Transit Routing number. The account number is printed next to the routing number on the bottom of your check. 11

Important Note: Sometimes the numbers on checks and deposit slips differ, so it is important that you determine the routing and account numbers by looking at one of your personal checks (rather than a deposit slip). If you are opening an account with a credit union or a savings account, we suggest you confirm the routing and account numbers with that bank. In the Bank field, please select a bank from the dropdown. You may search for your bank by name or routing number. The routing number is a unique number that is assigned only to your bank.

With a Savings account, you do not write checks against it and, generally, use deposit or withdrawal slips only. What is Deposit Amount/Percent? Deposit Amount is used to specify a flat dollar amount whereas Percent is to specify a percent of net pay to deposit. Important Note: If you are setting up a default account, you must specify 100% of net.
