What Is a Direct Deposit Form?

A Direct Deposit Form is completed by an individual holding a bank account which allows another party to send funds into the specified bank account. In the majority of cases, the Direct Deposit form is required so that an employer can transfer the salary of an employee into their bank account. Alternate Names: Direct Deposit Authorization; Direct Deposit Authorization Form. There are several advantages to using Direct Deposit Forms, the main is the speed. Rather than printing checks and distributing them to employees, then waiting for the employee to deposit the check into their account and wait for processing the method of direct deposits is much faster and a lot more convenient. Generally, the payment will show up in the account within two business days. This also provides an element of stability for the employee as they will know exactly when their salary will be deposited. For the employer, it is also a much cheaper option, particularly if you have many employees within the company. Instead of purchasing special paper and printing (the amount of ink used can get relatively expensive) the employer puts the salary through an automated system. It may not seem like a considerable saving, but when you add up the number of people employed within a company and the amount of pay checks that will be needed, especially over a lengthy period of time the numbers really do add up.
