Why should I sign up for direct deposit?
Direct deposit is utilized for many of the University employees and allows workers to be paid straight into their bank account. On the last business day of each month, the money is wired to the bank account that is set up, and the money shows up automatically at 8am. It’s convenient, paperless, and requires minimal effort to set up. A direct deposit can be canceled or changed at any time the employee desires to do so.
- It’s EASY! All you need to do is attach a voided check to our direct deposit form.
- You don’t have to come all the way to WOU to pick up a manual check at the end of every month.
- If you forget that you’re supposed to get paid, it doesn’t matter! The money will already be in your bank account.
