Automatic Withdrawal allows you to set up automatic bill payments to be directly deducted from your GEFCU checking account.

GEFCU now offers Online Bill Pay.
With state-of-the-art technology, you can take advantage of completely secure, round-the-clock bill payment capabilities all from the comfort of your computer, or any computer that has Internet access.

What information will I need to set up a direct deposit or automatic withdrawal?
When signing up for direct deposit or consenting to automatic withdrawal, you are asked to provide your account number and the financial institution's routing/ABA number, which is 314977214. It is very important that these numbers are correct, for any errors cause the deposit or withdrawal to be rejected.

What account number do I use? Is it the one I use at the credit union or the number on the bottom of my checks?
The account number used in all electronic transactions must be ten digits. To make up the ten digits the account number will begin with zeroes, followed by your account number (as used at the credit union), and end with 50. All ten digits must be there in order to process the transaction. You may verify your account number by asking any teller at any GEFCU location, using the information on the Direct Deposit/Automatic Withdrawal card given to you by a teller, or using the information on the bottom of your checking account checks.

Do I use the same information for a checking account and a savings account transaction?
Yes, the account number and routing/ABA number are the same for savings and checking accounts.

Can I have direct deposits and automatic withdrawals made to/from my savings and checking accounts?
While direct deposits can be made to either a checking or a savings, automatic withdrawals can only be made from a checking account.

Who do I contact to set up a direct deposit or an automatic withdrawal?
If you wish to set up direct deposit for your payroll checks, you need to contact your employer. Your employer will tell you whether or not they offer direct deposit and what information they require. If you wish to set up a direct deposit or an automatic withdrawal with a company other than your employer, you need to contact that company. The company will tell you what they require to get this set up. GEFCU does have direct deposit forms for the United States Postal Service and the Federal Government.

How would a company go about setting up direct deposit for their employees if they do not already do so?
