Why is direct deposit better than checks for your customers or members?

• Safer: When there's a problem with a Social Security payment, nine times out of 10 it's with a paper check, not a direct deposit payment.
• Easier: Your customers or members don’t have to go to the bank or credit union to deposit their check – their money is in their account on payment day.
• More control: Your customers or members don’t have to let their check rule their schedule – their payment is in their account at the same time each month and accessible from virtually anywhere, which can be critical in an emergency.
