Direct Deposit
Over 92% of ISU employees have their pay directly deposited to their bank. The benefits of direct deposit are:
- Convenience - Eliminate trips to pick up and deposit checks.
- Security - Eliminate lost or stolen checks
- Flexibility - Funds may be sent to up to three different bank accounts.
To comply with NACHA rules, please advise the Payroll Office if you receive your pay via direct deposit at a U.S. bank and intend to transfer the entire payment amount to a bank in another country.
In order to enroll in Direct Deposit, you may use Employee Self-Service, or fill out the Direct Deposit Authorization Form and return it to the University Payroll Office.
Terminology:
Routing Number
The routing number is the nine-digit number in the bottom left corner of your check. A routing number NEVER begins with “5.” DO NOT copy the numbers from a deposit slip. Usually, these are not valid.
*If you are not sure what the routing number is, contact your bank.
Account Number
The account number is a series of numbers found at the bottom of your check following the routing number. Do not enter your debit card number – this is not your account number.
*If you are not sure what the account number is, contact your bank.
Note:
Direct Deposit enrollment for payroll purposes is independent of Student Accounts and Business Office. To receive Student Accounts and Business Office payments via direct deposit, please visit the sites below.
