If you’ve never gotten around to signing up for direct deposit for your monthly paycheck, now is the time. Here’s why:
- Since your money goes directly into the bank, your check can’t be lost or stolen.
- Your money is in your account, ready to use when business opens the day you receive your check.
- You don’t have to leave your house in bad weather or worry if you’re on vacation or away from home.
- You don’t have to stand in line or pay any fees to cash your checks.
- Your bank may offer incentives for using direct deposit.
It’s easy to sign up for direct deposit in your personal benefits account. On At Your Service Online, select “Income & Taxes” and then “Direct Deposit.” On UCPath, select “Employee Actions,” “Income and Taxes” and then “Direct Deposit.” After you’ve completed the necessary security checks, just follow the steps to enter your bank account information.
