Direct deposit allows your employer to transfer your paycheck directly into your account, so you can use your money as soon as it’s sent.

It’s easy and convenient—and because there are no paper checks, it reduces the possibility of losing or damaging a paycheck, or having it stolen. Most employers use direct deposit and electronic pay stubs, so you’ll still have access to the same information you’d have on a paper check, like a record of salary, taxes and contributions.
