What are the benefits of direct deposit?
These days, even smaller companies are taking advantage of direct deposit benefits. The benefits for the employees are obvious—they get paid on time, they don't have to visit their bank, simpler money management, and they don't have to be at the office to pick up their check. Benefits for the employers are a bit more complicated. But there are quite a few.
Benefits to employers:
- Less labor costs for processing payroll
- No need to print paper checks and reissue lost checks
- Reconciling is easier since payroll deductions are predictable
- Reduces chances of check fraud
- Decreases environmental footprint

What if your employees don't have a bank account?
Sometimes for a variety of reasons, employees may not have a bank account. It is not convenient for you to write a check just for the few employees that do not have bank accounts. But there are alternate ways for employees to benefit from direct deposit. Of course, they'll need some kind account for you to deposit funds. The simplest is by using a prepaid card. Prepaid cards do not require a credit check. They'll need to obtain the card and then log in to their account to get direct deposit information such as routing numbers. Other options include payroll cards, which do not require employees to qualify for credit, but they may require that you set them up.
