Direct Deposit

Save yourself a visit to a branch or ATM to deposit a paper check by setting up direct deposit with SAFE. Direct deposit can also help you build savings effortlessly when you direct a portion of your paycheck into your preferred SAFE savings account.

Fast, convenient, and secure

In many cases, direct deposit allows you to receive your paycheck or federal benefit payments1 such as Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), VA Compensation, and pension a day early2.

Get started

Provide your payroll office with the SAFE Credit Union routing number (321173742) and your SAFE account number (also called the ACH number) where you would like your check deposited. To find your account number:

  • Log in to Online Banking or the SAFE Mobile App
  • Click on the account you want the account number for
  • Click "Account Details"
  • You will see the account number.

If your payroll office requires a blank check from your account to verify the information, be sure to write VOID on the check.

You can print a copy of the SAFE direct deposit form.

 
 

Locating Your Account number

Your account number is often used by merchants, government agencies, and others to directly pull money from or deposit funds directly into your account. Here's how to find your account numbers through SAFE's Online Banking and Mobile App.



  • Log in to Online Banking or the SAFE Mobile App
  • Select the account you want the account number for
  • Select "Account Details"
