'Checking' into Direct Deposit

Direct Deposit. It’s fast, easy, and convenient. Consider making Direct Deposit part of your Hurricane Preparedness Plan to ensure that your paycheck is automatically deposited to your financial institution(s). And after hurricane season, you’ll continue to reap the benefits the remainder of the year.   

With Direct Deposit, your net pay automatically goes to the bank, credit union, or savings and loan account you choose. Your pay is protected in the banking system, and you don’t need to make a trip to your financial institution. Direct Deposit also eliminates the possibility of lost or stolen paychecks and protects you from becoming an identity theft victim.

Employees may sign up for Direct Deposit through PostalEASE by calling 1-877-4PS-EASE (1-877-477-3273) and by following the “Payroll, Allotments” link. Direct Deposit allows the transfer of a portion of your earnings to one or two financial institutions (Allotments), or the transfer of all of your earnings (Net to Bank) to a financial institution.

Remember, you’ll need your Social Security Number and your USPS Employee Identification Number (EIN), the eight-digit number from your paycheck stub, to sign up. And be sure to have handy your account number(s) to your financial institution(s) prior to dialing 1-877-477-3273. 

Sign up for Direct Deposit today and give yourself one less thing to worry about this hurricane season (and beyond).
