Direct Deposit is SAFER, EASIER, and more CONVENIENT!

If you could make life safer and easier for yourself or a loved one with just one phone call, wouldn’t you?

Switching to direct deposit is a small but important way that people who get Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks can improve their lives. And it just takes a few minutes to sign-up.

We are proud to partner with Go Direct – a national campaign sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Banks to inform people who receive federal benefits by check about the advantages of direct deposit and help them sign-up for it.

Direct deposit is simply the best way to receive Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments.

Direct deposit:

• Eliminates the risk of lost or stolen checks
• Reduces fraud
• Helps protect against identity theft
• Gives people more control over their money
• Plus, provides people with immediate access to their money from virtually everywhere

Direct deposit also saves taxpayers millions of dollars. If every current federal benefit check recipient switched to direct deposit, it would save taxpayers about $120 million a year. Almost all the money saved remains in the Social Security Trust Fund – a benefit to all Americans for years to come.

With direct deposit, you have:

• The safest method of receiving your payment
• An easier, more convenient way to access your money
• Control over your money and your time

Give yourself a peace of mind and have your federal benefits directly deposited into you GECU accounts.
