• Immediate availability of funds on payday
• No loss of leisure time
• No need to make special arrangements when absent or on vacation.

Safe

• No lost or stolen checks
• No overdrafts due to late deposits

Simple

• Fill out a Direct Deposit Authorization Form to have your pay automatically deposited to your checking or savings account.  On payday, instead of a check, you receive a pay advice that shows your gross pay, deductions, net pay, deposit information, etc.  The pay advice is your notice of deposit and your record.

Instructions

To Start Direct Bank Deposit

• Complete a Direct Deposit Authorization Form and return it to the Payroll & Employee Benefits office.

To Change or Stop Direct Bank Deposit                                                                                                           

• Complete a Direct Deposit Authorization Form noting the type of change that is being made by checking the correct box.

• Return the authorization form to the Payroll & Employee Benefits office.

• If you intend to close your account it is very important to STOP your Direct Deposit with the payroll department before you close your bank account.  If you fail to do so your check will continue to go Direct Deposit.  Once a check has been directed to a closed account, a delay will take place of usually one to two business days.  Your money must be returned to Ball State before it can be re-issued to you directly.
  
  Please see the Sample Form in the Direct Deposit Link at Right.
