What is a Direct Deposit Agreement Form?

In banking, a direct deposit (or direct credit) is a deposit of money by a payer directly into a payee's bank account. Direct deposits are most commonly made by businesses in the payment of salaries and wages and for the payment of suppliers' accounts, but the facility can be used for payments for any purpose, such as payment of bills, taxes, and other government charges. Direct deposits are most commonly made by means of electronic funds transfers effected using online, mobile, and telephone banking systems but can also be affected by the physical deposit of money into the payee's bank account.

What are Examples of Direct Deposit in Different Countries?

The direct deposit facility is often better known by country-specific payment systems used to action these payments, for example:

• Giro in most of Europe,
• ACH Network (ACH) in the United States,
• Direct entry in Australia.
