Never worry about depositing your paycheck again.

U.S. Treasury's Go Direct campaign urges Americans to use direct deposit for Social Security payments -- it's safer and easier than checks.
Pacific Trust Bank is proud to be a partner with Go Direct, a national campaign sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Banks, to encourage people who get Social Security and other federal benefit payments by check to switch to direct deposit. |

Direct Deposit Enrollment Forms
Direct Deposit Benefits:
-
It's secure. There are no checks to be lost or stolen.
-
It's timely. Payments reach your account the day the check is issued -- even if you are out of town, sick or unable to get to the bank. Except for extraordinary circumstances, direct deposits are posted to your account before 9:00 AM each banking day (Monday through Friday).
-
It's convenient. It can save you trips to the bank and help you avoid long lines at tellers or ATMs.
-
You may be paid sooner. The federal government and many employers will deposit your check a day early if the regular payday falls on a holiday.
-
It can save you money. Direct deposit can help you avoid bouncing checks (and return item fees) because the deposit is direct and on time.
What is Direct Deposit?
Direct Deposit is the electronic transfer of a payment from a company, the government or an organization into the checking or savings account of an employee, retiree, taxpayer, or shareholder.
The most popular Direct Deposit is for payroll, but it can also be used for many other types of payments, including:
- Annuities
- Bonuses and commissions
- Dividend and interest payments
- Pensions
- Travel expense settlements
- Tax refunds
- Social Security or other government payment
How it works
By completing a standard enrollment form, you authorize a company or organization to make a Direct Deposit payment into your bank account instead of giving you a paper check. Direct Deposits are made via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system.
