How to Send and Execute Direct Deposit Authorizations with SignCEO
Setting up payroll or vendor disbursements requires verified banking authorization to ensure funds route accurately and comply with NACHA rules. Passing paper direct deposit forms with attached voided checks across office desks creates privacy and identity theft risks.
With SignCEO, payroll administrators and HR teams upload direct deposit authorization forms directly into an intuitive web dashboard. Add signature lines, account type selection boxes, routing and account number fields, and date stamps. The signer reviews and executes the form in seconds on their phone or laptop without downloading software or creating accounts.
SignCEO is an electronic signature execution software. SignCEO does not draft banking authorization forms, provide financial advice, or directly transfer funds. Users upload their own customized direct deposit authorization forms.
