Direct deposit

Direct deposit means that your paycheck is automatically deposited into your bank account after you enroll.  Direct deposit is a requirement for employment at UMass Amherst.

How to Enroll

Your earnings will be electronically deposited into the bank(s) or credit union(s) you designate (up to a maximum of four accounts) after you complete the Direct Deposit form. On the form tell us where to deposit your earnings by entering your bank account(s) information.  A pay statement detailing your earnings and deductions is available online in HR Direct. If you close your account or change bank account numbers, change your direct deposit information in HR Direct immediately to prevent a delay in getting paid.

  • Complete a direct deposit form online through HR Direct (recommended). HR Direct Login
  • Or you may complete a paper direct deposit form that you would need to return to the Employee Service Center, presenting a picture ID when you submit the form.
  • You may use checking or savings accounts
