How to Fill Out a Chase Direct Deposit Form
The top of the a Chase Direct Deposit Form, or Direct Deposit Application as it is called, has spaces for you to print your name, address, city state and zip code. The next part of the form asks if you want your funds deposited into a checking account or a savings account. It then asks for your Account Number and your Bank’s Routing Number.
Discerning just what these numbers are and where to find them is often the source of considerable confusion to most people, but the Chase Direct Deposit Form includes a helpful and important feature not usually seen in documents of this type. There is an illustration of a typical bank check, with an illustration of the combined bank Routing Number, individual Account Number, and check number that always appears on the bottom left corner of all U.S. bank checks.
This illustration makes it easy to comply with the Chase Direct Deposit Form’s request for your Account Number and for your bank’s Routing Number.
The next, part of the form asks for your permission for Chase to automatically deposit your payroll check into the bank account that you listed. You are asked to sign and date the form. Finally, you are asked to attach a voided check to the form and to take the completed application to your employer’s payroll department. At this point, they will gladly take care of it from here.
Chase also offers an Automatic Payment Change Form. This form is very useful if you change banks, or simply want your deposit made to another bank. It is a very simple form, and one must be filled out for every payment stream that you would like to change.
