How to set up direct deposits

Downloading a void cheque and giving it to your employer or income provider is the easiest way to set up direct deposit. Simply log in to your online banking and click on Account Activity to access your void cheque, and direct deposit form.

Log in to online banking

On our mobile app or don’t have access to online banking?

Instead of a void cheque, some employers and income providers accept simply providing them your account information. You can use a direct deposit form or write down the information for them.

You'll need:

Your full name and address as it appears on your account statements
Vancity’s Financial Institution Number: 809
The account number and transit number of the account you want payments deposited into. Need help? Find out how to access your account and transit number
