The Key Bank direct deposit authorization form provides a clear method for delivering the required information for electronic transfer payments from an employer/company to a payee. Most companies will require such information in order to properly effect such a transfer regularly. Both the employer and your bank will need clear authorization from you that such actions are approved. This form will require some basic information and a blank voided personal check to be attached.
