Direct Deposit

Direct deposit is the electronic transfer of your pay directly into your bank or credit union account. By transferring funds electronically, there is no need for a printed paycheck. Currently, more than 97% of all Ohio University employees are paid through direct deposit. To enroll in direct deposit, complete the Direct Deposit Form OR access My Personal Information and choose "Manage Payments and Direct Deposits".
