Accounts Payable Direct Deposit

Direct deposit is now available for students, faculty and staff for reimbursements, flex spending, cash advances, student refunds and payments for vendors.  Direct deposits (aka ACH payments) are made as alternatives to the issuance of a check when requested by the specific department or individual or because this method has been requested by the receiving party.  Direct deposit is initiated in the same manner as check requests through the Accounts Payable department.

Some of the benefits of direct deposit include:

• Faster payment - quicker access to your money.
• Eliminates the chance of lost/stolen checks.
• Eliminates errors on address.
• Reduction of paper use.
• Saves the University money from printing checks, preventing "stop payment" costs, cutting the cost of purchasing envelope and check stock and from reissuing checks.
• Reinforces the University's commitment to practice and promote sustainability.
• Saves valuable time, gas and money.

Fill out the appropriate direct deposit form below and return it to the Accounts Payable office.  Your money can be deposited into either your checking or savings account.

If you have filled out a direct deposit form for Payroll, you must fill out a separate form for Accounts Payable.

Once you have signed up for direct deposit, all subsequent disbursements will be made via direct deposit.  For questions, contact Carmel Mannenbach at ext. 7171 or mannenba@up.edu.
