Using your employer’s direct deposit service is a great way to do this. It’s the safe and easy way to get paid during COVID-19 or any time.

There is more security and control with direct deposit than with cashing a check, plus you’ll save time and often have access to your funds earlier.

And during times when many employees are working from home, you need to be assured that you will have timely access to your pay without having to pick up a paper check in person or wait for it to be delivered.

Benefits of Direct Deposit for Employees

  • No lost, stolen, or misplaced checks
  • No time spent at the bank or ATM
  • Access to funds earlier than with paper checks
  • Receive payments even when you are sick or out of town
  • Paychecks can be deposited directly into more than one account, such as savings or an emergency fund
  • Wages can be deposited to a payroll card account or to a prepaid card account
  • Your financial institution may waive monthly maintenance charges or other fees if you use direct deposit

Whether it’s during a health crisis or business as usual, direct deposit can save time and ease your mind about getting access to your wages.
