1 minute read time.

Direct Deposit is a convenient method of paying employees by depositing their paychecks directly into their banks accounts. Using direct deposit reduces the time and money spent printing paper checks. Sage 50—U.S. Edition works with BenefitMall to process all your direct deposit requests.
