About direct deposit

Direct deposit allows your employees to have their pay cheques deposited directly into their bank account. Banks require electronic delivery of payroll information by companies wanting to provide employees with direct deposit.

Your bank will extract records from the file and create files that are routed through EFT providers to the various employee banks.
