For total convenience, you can provide direct deposit/payroll deduction for your employees to Fort Financial Federal CU. Direct deposit means lower administrative costs for you, the employer.

If your company is already set up on a direct deposit program that routes through the Federal Reserve’s Automatic Clearing House (ACH) network, fort Financial CU can accept deposits into our members’ accounts from any institution.
Lower Costs + Fewer Worries = Happier, More Productive Employees!
As the employer, providing your employees with low-cost financial products and services plus cutting-edge convenience goes a long way towards completing this equation.
