Sign Up for Direct Deposit
Learn how to sign up for direct deposit at Columbia University.
Details
Direct Deposit allows suppliers and University employees wishing to have their invoiced payments and disbursements deposited directly into their bank accounts. Direct deposit is also known as ACH.
Columbia employees who receive their paychecks via direct deposit will also need to sign up for direct deposit as a payee to receive reimbursements, as payroll files are separate, confidential, and cannot be shared.
