Direct Deposit

Direct Deposit offers a convenient solution to save time and eliminate the hassle of visiting an ACT 1st FCU branch to deposit a check. It allows you to transfer funds directly into your credit union account from your employer, the government, or any other applicable source.

Why Direct Deposit?

Receiving your salary or government benefit payments through direct deposit offers several benefits over traditional paper checks. These advantages include:

Enhanced Safety – There is no risk of losing or having your checks stolen.
Convenience – Eliminating the need for a special trip to cash or deposit a check.
Reliability – Timely payments, without any delays.
Cost-Savings – Save money on transportation to the branch or stamps you may be using to mail deposits in.
Speed – Your funds are available on the same day they are received, providing you with quick access to your money.
