Direct Deposit Helps Protect You From Identity Theft

Direct deposit can actually reduce your risk of identity theft. When your paycheck goes directly into your account, there is no chance your check will be stolen or cashed by someone other than yourself. There is also no chance that someone can copy any personal information from your check.

With identity theft becoming a growing problem, it’s important to monitor your credit report yearly to ensure no one has established false accounts in your name and that everything in your report is correct.
