Set Up or Change Your Direct Deposit of Benefit Payment
Autodeposit means you don’t have to manually accept an Interac e-Transfer – your funds will be in your account once the transfer has been sent by the sender. If you attempt to auto-bank, it gets to the first item (Which it cannot deposit due to size), claims 'Your bank is full', and ignores the rest (Even though they can be deposited). The items can subsequently be deposited manually (Whereas they should have been deposited automatically). Direct deposit is the easy, worry-free way to have electronic deposits – like paychecks or Social Security payments – deposited automatically into your U.S. Bank checking or savings account. Deposits are made electronically, so you never have to worry about losing a paycheck or going to the bank.
