How to Set Up Direct Deposit
Setting up direct deposit with PSECU is quick, secure, and easy. And the best part? There’s no paperwork needed and there’s no cost to you. Simply log into your PSECU account in digital banking (or sign up if you don’t have digital banking yet). Once logged in, go to the menu in the top left corner and click Account. Then, select Direct Deposit and follow the prompts to start your setup with Pinwheel.
Here’s how you do it:
You’ll need your employer’s name and your payroll account credentials like your login information from your payroll provider.
- Select your employer. Search for your employer from the Pinwheel database, which has over 1 million options.
- Log in securely. Enter your payroll account credentials to securely connect your payroll information with PSECU. Don’t worry, this process is safe. Pinwheel takes security just as seriously as we do. From the moment you enter your payroll details, your information is protected with top-notch security. This step makes sure that your paycheck goes to the right place.
- Confirm your details. Choose where your money should go and how much of your paycheck you want directly deposited (full or partial paycheck) and the share(s) you want your funds deposited to - checking, Regular savings, additional savings, money market, or a combination, whatever works best for you.
Direct deposit typically becomes effective within one to two pay cycles, depending on your employer’s processing time.
It’s important to note that your information is protected throughout the process, ensuring that your direct deposit is set up both securely and privately.
Open an account to get access to everyday perks, and after a quick application process, you’ll be on your way to a better banking experience. Members achieve more.
