Setting up a direct deposit is safe and secure – here are steps to follow to get started:
Contact your pension or employer’s payroll provider for their specific paperwork or procedures to direct your deposits to your Ameriprise ONE Financial Account.
As part of the paperwork, you’ll be asked for a routing number and account number – use the numbers from the bottom of your checks (see example). You may also be asked to provide a voided check for confirmation.
The Social Security direct deposit form (Form SF-1199A) can be downloaded at ssa.gov/deposit/. Or visit the godirect.gov page for instructions setting up a direct deposit online. Submit the voided check with the form to the payment originator.
To avoid delays, be sure to sign the paperwork and provide any other required documentation, then submit your request to your payment administrator as soon as possible. Depending on the processor, direct deposits may take one to two payment cycles to get started.
Please do not mail any direct deposit forms to Ameriprise as we cannot process them.
For any other brokerage account direct deposit questions, please call the Client Service Center at 800.862.7919.
