All direct deposit payments will be reported to you on your monthly bank statement. You should notify the company of your new banking relationship immediately. You can pay bills to any company that offers the Direct Payment option. Companies or organizations offering the Direct Payment option, will be able to provide you with an authorization form. You must complete this authorization form and sign it.
Many companies request that the customer provide a voided check.
Providing the company with this voided check helps ensure that your transactions are appropriately posted to your account. After completing the authorization, it is a good idea to keep a copy for your records. On the predetermined due date, the company's bank will instruct your bank to deduct the amount of the bill from your account. Your bank then withdraws that amount and forwards the payment electronically to the company's bank. The payment will be shown on your monthly statement from your financial institution.
