Direct deposit allows money from your student financial account to be transferred or refunded directly into your personal checking or savings account. USU students with a U.S. checking or savings account are eligible to set up direct deposit. This is a free, secure, and convenient way to receive your funds without needing to visit a physical bank or taking any additional steps.
Note: The steps outlined below are to set up direct deposit solely for student account transfers or refunds. To set up direct deposit to receive your job wages (paycheck money) please contact your supervisor or employer for assistance.
NOTE: The easiest way to find your information is by referencing a paper check. See check sample below. Account numbers may be up to 17 digits long. Routing numbers appear first on the check and are always 9 digits long. Separate routing numbers may be used for direct deposits and wire transfers; please contact your bank for confirmation.
