Benefits of direct deposit

• Using direct deposit means you will get your money faster.
• There is no need to worry about having to be home to receive your cheques or making a trip to the bank to deposit them, since they will be automatically deposited into your account at a Canadian financial institution.
• Direct deposit is secure—there’s no risk that your payments will be lost or delayed.
• Your payments will always be on time, and you can start using the money or earning interest right away.

Join the thousands of taxpayers, benefit recipients, and businesses that have already made the switch to quick and easy benefit payments, tax refunds, and tax credits.
