How to Do a BOA Direct Deposit
Direct deposit saves you time by not requiring you to make trips to the bank to deposit your check and allows you to relax knowing money will hit your account at a certain, planned time. An employer or other payer has the ability, with your permission, to deposit money directly into your checking or savings account with Bank of America (BOA). To utilize the direct deposit feature, your employer or payer must offer the service.

Visit or call the payroll office, HR office or the person responsible for handling direct deposit requests. Ask for the direct deposit form. Fill out the form by including, your name, the routing number and checking or savings account number of the account you want the money deposited in. The routing number and checking account number can be located at the bottom of your check. A routing number is the first nine digit number. The second set of numbers is the account number and is 12 digits. If you are direct depositing into a savings account, contact BOA to ensure you use the correct routing number.

Take a check and void the check by writing "VOID" on the front of the check. Attach this check to the direct deposit form. If depositing into a savings account, include a deposit slip for your savings account if possible.
