How do I setup direct deposit?
Getting started with direct deposit can be as easy as providing your account number and the Civic routing number (052185723)
Many Employers and Government Entities that provide Direct Deposit payments will have their own paperwork, so it is vital to check with them first. If there is no set form required by the Paying Entity and the requirement is only to submit your request in writing, then simply download and complete the Civic Direct Deposit Authorization Form.
