Direct Deposit
Convenient, secure, and faster than a paper check! Just complete the form give it to your employer with a voided check.
Make Payday Even Better
Enjoy the convenience of direct deposit. With direct deposit, there’s no need to visit a branch or ATM, as your paycheck, retirement check or other recurring income will automatically and securely deposit into your checking or savings account. This saves you time and money.
In most cases, members using direct deposit receive their funds a day or two before paper checks, plus direct deposit is free to Meridia Credit Union members.
To start using Direct Deposit, fill out this form and give it to your employer. If you have any questions, we’re here to help… simply contact us at (716) 648-4411.

“I worked the night shift, and would have to make a separate trip in just to pick up my paycheck on payday. When I switched to direct deposit, it saved me the trip and the extra stop to make the deposit. When I took out a loan to buy a car, part of my loan payment automatically is made with every paycheck, making it one less thing on my to-do list.”
