direct deposit & payroll deduction

Almost every employee group, company and retirement provider participate in direct deposit. Allocate a portion of your check with payroll deduction or direct all of your paycheck to the Credit Union. Members can receive discounted loan rates on certain loan types by having full direct deposit. Payroll deduction is a convenient way to build up your savings or Holiday Club account. Instructions and forms for some of our different employee groups are available here.
