The Bank of America direct deposit form is a legal document used to gather all of the required information needed by an Employer to directly deposit payment into an Employee’s Account. This form will allow the ability to set up a Direct Deposit across three Accounts however, it is worth noting, that not every Employer will provide this option. It is very important to clear up such issues with your Employer before submitting this form. Additionally, make sure to submit this form to the appropriate entity in your place of Employment as it will contain some very sensitive information.

How to Write
Step 1 – Download the Bank of America Direct Deposit form using the PDF button below the image. Read statements 1 through 4 contained within the box at the top of the document
Step 2 – You will need to document several pieces of Employer Information on the first two lines. Next to the words “Employer / Company Name,” enter the Employer or the Name of the Company that shall be depositing your payments directly to your Bank of America Account.
Step 3 – On the “Employer Address” line, enter the Street Address, City, State, and Zip Code where your Employer (or Employer Company) is located.
Step 4 – The next section will ask you to define the Account or Accounts where you wish the Direct Deposit to transfer funds to. It will be divided into three boxes which will allow for three Accounts to receive the Direct Deposit being set up. If the deposit arrangement you prefer will involve only one Account, only fill out the first box. To begin, select the applicable account type (Checking or Savings) by marking the appropriate check box then, enter the state in which the account was opened in the right hand corner of this box.
Step 5 – Report your Account Number on the line designated as “Account Number.”
Step 6 – Enter the ABA Routing Number of the Bank of America Branch that houses your Account on the blank line below your Account Number.
Step 7 – You may now define the Deposit Amount as a Percentage, Dollar Amount, or a Balance (if splitting Account). For instance, if you would like to split your deposits between two accounts, you will need to compliment the two boxes you filled out on this line. Thus, if you have %25 of your payment deposited in one account, you may choose to enter %75 on this line, a set flat Dollar Amount, or simply choose the check box labeled “Remaining.” If you only fill in one box and wish the full Amount of your paycheck deposited into one account, simply fill in one box then report %100 on the Deposit Amount line.
