2. Set up Direct Deposit

No more paper paychecks! With direct deposit, your money goes right into your Chartway account! Provide your employer with your new Chartway account number and routing number.

If you are a Federal employee, including military, start with Sign-Up Form 1199A. If you're employed at a private company, contact your payroll or Human Resources department to get things started.

3. Close your old checking account

Redirect your automatic payments/debits to your new Chartway account. Don't forget loan payments, insurance premium payments, utility payments, membership dues, donations, and any other recurring debits to your account.

Let your outstanding checks clear from your old account. 

Once all activity has been phased out, contact your prior financial institution, and request that the account be closed.

Set Up Direct Deposit

It's easy to set up direct deposit to your Chartway account!

If you need help identifying which numbers to enter, please feel free to call us for help. If the account number and routing number are not entered correctly, your deposit may fail.

Checking

To deposit your paycheck into your checking account, use your checking account number. Your checking account number is different from your member number. Do not use your member number. Your account number can be found on the MICR line at the bottom of your Chartway checks. You can also locate your account number by logging in to our online banking system and looking under the INFO tab next to the account you designate for your direct deposit. Your Account Number (ACH) is listed at the bottom.

You will also need to provide your employer with the Chartway routing/transit number. This number is 251481614 and can also be found on the MICR line at the bottom of your Chartway checks.

When you use our direct deposit, we’ll deposit your paycheck into your account as soon as we get it – which could be 1-3 days earlier than you received it before.

Direct Deposit Sign-Up Instructions

Follow these three easy steps to get started with direct deposit.

Savings

To set up direct deposit for your savings account, please follow the instructions on the Share Savings page.
