Direct Deposit Information

Your entire paycheck or any designated portion can be electronically deposited into your checking or savings account through Cornell's Direct Deposit Plan.  All regular, full-and part-time employees, Graduate Assistants and students, who have an account with an Automatic Clearing House (ACH) participating bank, savings and loan or credit union, are encouraged to participate.  Some 17,000 financial institutions in the country are members of the Automatic Clearing House.

To arrange for this service, you must complete a Cornell University--Direct Deposit Authorization Form and route it directly to the University Payroll Office, 377 Pine Tree Road, East Hill Plaza.  The Human Resources Office does not need a copy of this form.  The form is available electronically at http://www.payroll.cornell.edu/forms/cu_prl_directdeposit.pdf. If you have any questions concerning the benefits of this plan or need information as to whether or not your financial institution is a participating member, you may call the University Payroll Office at X5-5194.

Allow two (2) pay periods for your Direct Deposit to take effect. Once the plan goes into effect, your money will be available to you on the same day as the pay date and can be withdrawn from your bank or by using an automated teller machine (ATM).

Once you have terminated, your Direct Deposit is also terminated. If you are a returning student or employee, you need to contact University Payroll to activate your direct deposit again. If any changes are to be made to your Direct Deposit information, you must submit a new Direct Deposit Authorization Form.

Direct Deposit of Accounts Payable Payments

If you participate in Direct Deposit of your payroll check, you may elect to have direct deposit payments from accounts payable.

Funds will be deposited to the bank account designated on your payroll electronic deposit authorization form. If more than one account is listed on the payroll form, the accounts payable payment will be deposited into the last bank account listed.

If you wish to participate in Direct Deposit of accounts payable checks, you must enroll using the form at http://www.payments.cornell.edu/APDirect_Deposit.cfm.

You will be notified when the set-up process is complete (please allow 2-5 business days).

Once you are set up, all vouchers processed will be paid by Direct Deposit. For each voucher, an e-mail notification will be sent stating the amount, a brief description of the payment and the estimated deposit date.

When submitting a receipt for payment to your Administrative Assistant or the Administrative Service Center, please indicate "Direct Deposit" on the upper right hand corner of the voucher.

If you have questions, please contact uco-direct_deposit_ap-mailbox@cornell.edu or the Administrative Service Center.
