Direct deposit limits: Limit increases
Security limits help protect you from fraudulent ACH activities by capping the amount you can send using our Direct Deposit services
For additional information go to Request a direct deposit limit increase.
Reverse a direct deposit
After a direct deposit is transmitted to an employee's financial institution, there is no way to prevent the funds from being credited to the employee's account. You might, however, be able to reverse the direct deposit.
