How do I switch from my current bank to a Work Place Bank?
Enroll in the Work Place Banking program with a participating bank. Complete a Direct Deposit form redirecting your paycheck to your new participating bank account. Please note that the Direct Deposit authorization will require two payroll cycles to become effective. Therefore, you should maintain your current bank account until your direct deposit and any pending transactions have been processed.
If I already bank with a participating bank, must I enroll in Work Place Banking?
Yes. You must enroll in the Work Place Banking program in order to receive the benefits. If you do not already have Direct Deposit to your account with the participating bank, you must also complete a Rutgers Direct Deposit form. You can download a Direct Deposit form. Return the Direct Deposit form to:
