Methods, systems and articles for providing financial account information for setting up direct deposit of pay checks

Abstract

Systems and methods for providing financial account information for an employee for setting up direct deposit of pay checks into a financial account of the employee. A financial services system receives a request from a payroll processor of an employer of the employee for account information for a financial account held by the employee, the request including personal information of the employee. The financial services system searches a database for a financial account held by the employee and identifies a financial account held by the employee by matching the personal information received in the request with corresponding information associated with a matching financial account stored in the database. The financial services system transmits the financial account information for the matching financial account sufficient to set up direct deposit to the payroll processor. The payroll processor then sets up direct deposit of the employee's pay checks into the matching financial account.
