Direct Deposit Authorization Form

A Direct Deposit Authorization Form is a document that grants permission for an employer to transfer wages directly into an employee’s bank account. It includes the employee’s name, bank account number, routing number and authorization signature.

Anyone receiving direct deposit payments, including employees and contractors, needs to complete a direct deposit authorization form template. This allows employers or payers to transfer funds directly into the recipient’s designated bank account.

The Direct Deposit Authorization Form template should be submitted to the employer's payroll or HR department. In some cases, submission through an online payroll system or directly to the financial institution may be required.
