FAQ’s of Direct Deposit

  • If I was on Direct Deposit last semester, will I still be on it?
    Yes. If you were on Direct Deposit for the last pay cycle of the previous semester, you’ll still be on Direct Deposit unless you requested it to be stopped.
  • Can I have part of my paycheck sent to one bank and the rest of my paycheck sent to another bank?

    Yes, you may have dual direct deposit, however, your secondary direct deposit bank account will be restrictive. The secondary account will either need to be Washington State Employee’s Credit Union (WSECU) or INSPIRUS Credit Union. Your secondary can only be a set amount every paycheck. You will need to initially set up your secondary account with the banks listed previously. If you would like to change or discontinue your secondary account you may complete a form and submit it to WSU Payroll Services located in the French Administration room 236 in Pullman, WA.
