Direct Deposit for Small Businesses

Direct Deposit benefits both employers and employees alike, and has become more commonplace in the last decade.

Strongly regarded for its convenience and security, direct deposit is the leading option provided by countless payroll services.

If you are interested in providing direct deposit to your employees, contact your payroll processing company for setting up direct deposit, or if you process your payroll in house then contact your financial institution. Each employee who is interested in direct deposit must complete the required form and attach a voided check or savings account deposit slip. Then either your accountant, person responsible for payroll will then submit a form to your payroll service containing your business? banking information so that it can debit the account to pay your employees. Your
next step will be for your payroll processing company to send all of the instructions you provided to the National Automated Clearing House Association. Generally, it takes approximately two pay periods for your employees to begin receiving direct deposited paychecks after they sign up for the program.

Possible educating your employees on how the system works and the benefits it offers is the first step in instituting a direct-deposit arrangement. Once management or the implementing bank or payroll-service company has finished educating your employees, there's generally a sufficiently high enrollment into the program.

To encourage more business to use direct-deposit payroll programs, a Direct Deposit Coalition was formed by NACHA, regional clearinghouse associations, some Federal Reserve banks, and the U.S. Treasury Department.
