• Reduce or eliminate manual check preparation and handling, saving time and administrative costs and reducing the potential for errors.
• Reduce the chance of loss and fraud — with direct deposit, there are no paper checks to be stolen, counterfeited, altered or forged.
• Enhance employee satisfaction and productivity — payroll deposits are credited to employees’ bank accounts immediately, eliminating the need to take time off work to deposit or cash a payroll check.
