Direct Deposit Program

1. What is The Direct Deposit Program?
   The direct deposit program permits electronic deposit of redemption funds into your checking or savings account automatically. You can count on the Direct Deposit Program: to keep you out of long bank lines; to keep your redemption check from being lost or stolen in the mail; to make your redemption funds available to you as fast as possible; and to save you time and money.

3. How will I know when you have made a Direct Deposit?

The notice will state which tax certificates were redeemed, the face amount, the interest amount, the total amount deposited and the effective date of the ACH (Automatic Clearing House) credit to your account.
