Direct Deposit: More Than Just Payment
Direct deposit sends employee wages straight into their bank accounts using the secure ACH network (Automated Clearing House). It shortens processing time, and offers benefits that go beyond speed:
- No manual errors
- Reliable delivery every payday
- Easy digital records of every transaction
This method gives education finance teams an efficient, traceable, and audit-friendly way to process payroll.
