Who should I contact when getting an error when trying to set up Direct Deposit?

There are a few possible reasons why you may run into an error when setting up Direct Deposit automatically.

We recommend that you start by contacting your Payer so you can:

  • Troubleshoot possible incorrect credentials or reset your password
  • Ask your Payer for permission to make an automated switch to your Direct Deposit
  • Complete setting up your account with the Payer if it isn’t already
  • Unlock your account for too many failed login attempts
  • Confirm how often you can switch the Direct Deposit account or change the percentage allocation

If you came across a connection error or session timeout, please refresh your browser/app and try again.

To get help finding the exact reason for getting an error, please contact us.
