Direct Deposit Now Available for Commissions!

This is excellent information regarding the new direct deposit option for commission checks! This blog was re-posted from the Ohio Indiana office's blog. Visit them here: http://ohioindianawestregional.blogspot.com/

Direct Deposit for Commission Checks is now available!

To setup your direct deposit, you must see your office administrator and ask them for the Direct Deposit application form. Fill out the form completely & sign it. A voided check containing bank routing information for the account needs to be attached to the application. Attach a deposit ticket if you are directing the funds to a savings account. Once completed, return the form to your OA. The application will be sent to corporate for processing. Please allow 10 business days for the application to be processed. Your commission checks will then be deposited directly into your checking or savings account on the morning you should have received the actual check. This is 3 business days after the closing is processed by the office staff. You will also receive a notification that your deposit has been made. You will receive a Non-Negotiable check stub confirming the processing of your payment.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How long from the time I submit my request will direct deposit go into effect?
It takes approximately 10 business days to process the request.

How am I notified that deposit has been made?
You will still receive a Non-Negotiable check stub confirming processing of the payment.

How fast are commission payments deposited to my account?
Payments will post to your account on the same day that a live check would be delivered to your office. This is 3 business days after the closing is processed by your office staff.

What if I change bank accounts?
You must submit another direct deposit application form.

Can I have my funds deposited to more than one account?

What if I decide to discontinue direct deposit?
