When will the money from my payroll check be available with direct deposit?

Can I use direct deposit to deposit my tax refund?

Yes. You can deposit your tax refund or other one time payments from institutions that offer direct deposit. Use the routing number and Direct Deposit Account (DDA) number provided on your direct deposit form. There is a direct deposit limit of $5,000 so if you expect your tax refund to be more than $5,000 you should not set up direct deposit because the deposit will be refused.

What happens to my direct deposit if I change jobs?

The payments from your previous job will stop automatically. To restart direct deposit with your new employer, fill out another direct deposit form, sign it and hand it to your new employer.
