Checking account support

How to enroll in Direct Deposit

Direct Deposits typically clear sooner than paper checks, which means you get your money faster — whether it’s a paycheck or a benefit payment.

To set up your account for Direct Deposit, download and fill out the Patelco Direct Deposit authorization form. Then give the completed form to your employer or benefit provider.

When you fill out this form, remember to use the correct account number formats. Your complete savings account number can be found by clicking or tapping on the savings account in Patelco Online™ and then selecting the Account Details tab. If you need more help, refer to the “How to find your account numbers” section below.

Automatic Payroll Disbursement

Automatically divide your paycheck among your Patelco accounts.

When you use Direct Deposit, you also have the option of dividing your paycheck among your Patelco accounts. This is a great way to set up automatic saving for a large purchase, like a home down payment, a vehicle, or a vacation.

To set up a Payroll Disbursement, complete this disbursement form and mail it back to Patelco. (Our address is on the form.)

Remember to use the correct account number formats to ensure your money is disbursed correctly. If you need help, refer to the “How to find your account numbers” section below.

• You can find your complete savings account number by clicking or tapping on the savings account in Patelco Online™ and then selecting the Account Details tab.
