Direct Deposit - What is it?

Direct deposit is an easy, reliable way to get your net pay into your bank account without having to endorse your check, take the chance of losing your check, or stand in line at the bank to deposit your check. Direct deposit is a simple method of using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system of numbers to identify each banking institution in the country and electronically moving your net pay amount from Winthrop's account into your account at your bank, wherever that bank may be.

The process is tried and true. Almost 70% of Winthrop employees now enjoy the benefits of direct deposit. What are these benefits, you ask? Well, let' s present the pros and cons.
