FAQ: Direct Deposit

What can I do to minimize problems?

If you change or cancel your Direct Deposit, keep your old bank account open until you receive your first check. This will prevent your Direct Deposit from being channeled to a "closed account" on payday. Don't use payday funds in your Direct Deposit account until you receive your deposit advice from Central Payroll-pay can fluctuate!
