Direct Deposit is fast, convenient and safe!

4 Reasons to “Go Direct Deposit”

  • It’s Convenient and Reliable. Your money will be in your account whether you’re on vacation, sick or just too busy to deposit a check. Also, in the event that your employer is closed, such as during a storm, it’ll be easier for you to receive your payroll.
  • It’s Safe and Secure. When there’s no check, there’s no threat of theft. Plus, at the Credit Union, your funds are insured for at least $250,000 by the NCUA.
  • It’s Confidential. Your deposit will appear on your pay stub and can be confirmed by checking your balance with Call24, our 24-hour telephone teller or by using our Free Online Banking.
  • You’ll Save Money. No more check cashing fees or driving around town to cash your check. Manage and control your money. Sign up for Direct Deposit today!
