Applying for direct deposit

If you are employed by a private business or organization, contact your personnel or payroll office to determine if direct deposit or payroll deduction is offered as an employee benefit.  If so, your employer will provide you with the appropriate authorization form.  Or, you may download an application and return it by mail, request one from the Member Service Center or apply at any branch.

If you receive federal recurring payments, download and complete a simple form and Alaska USA will transmit your request for Direct Deposit electronically to the appropriate government agency.  Members may download an application and return it by mail, request an application from the Member Service Center or apply at any branch.  Alternatively, you may call your payroll office or appropriate government agency, and they will provide the proper authorization form and instructions for completion.
