How to Set Up Your Direct Deposit

Confirm with your employer’s payroll office or the Social Security Administration that a direct deposit option is available and that you are eligible to enroll in it.

Provide your account information when signing up to have your paychecks, Social Security checks or other payments directly deposited into your account. You will need:

  • Our routing and transit number: 122187238
  • Your 14-digit account number: Log into Online Banking and click the name of the account you want your funds deposited into. Click on the Account Details tab and look for the DIRECT DEPOSIT AND ACH TRANSACTIONS ACCOUNT NUMBER located about halfway down the page.
    • If your 14-digit account number starts with “0,” you must include the zeros as well as the last 4 digits after the dash (this indicates if it’s your checking account, savings account, Money Market account, etc.).
    • Do not include the dash. Including the dash could prevent your funds from being deposited.
      Example: 00045678900400
