Members 1st Federal Credit Union - Direct Deposit

Direct Deposit

Direct Deposit is the electronic transfer of your paycheck, Social Security benefit, pension, annuity check, or other payment into your account. Your entire paycheck can be automatically credited toward any combination of your Members 1st accounts each pay period. Direct Deposit increases the safety and convenience of processing your check, eliminates waiting in payday lines, and makes your funds instantly available. With Direct Deposit, your money is protected. Government agencies have rules in place to protect you in case of error. Direct Deposit is also more confidential because fewer people are involved in processing your payment.

Setting up direct deposit to your Members 1st account is easy! Our list of FAQ‘s below will help you get started.
