Get Paid Quickly and Securely
Direct deposit is the electronic transfer of recurring funds (such as payroll, retirement, Social Security, or disability) into your FedChoice checking or savings account. It’s safer, more secure and more convenient than receiving your payment by check. With Payroll Allotment, you also have the option to electronically deposit a portion of your paycheck to your FedChoice account.
How do I sign up for direct deposit?
To sign up for direct deposit or a payroll allotment, you'll need two pieces of information:
- The ABA routing number for FedChoice - 254074785
- Your FedChoice account number
You can find your account number within eBanking. Simply click on the account you'd like the direct deposit for and then click on "About this Account" and you'll see a 10 digit number. Because these numbers are unique to each account, you want to ensure that you use the one for the account you want the deposit to go into.
