How to Set Up Direct Deposit with Your Employer

Step 2: Enter Your Slash Details
Provide your Slash routing number, account number, and select Checking as the account type.
Step 3: Choose Full or Partial Deposit
Most employers let you direct your full paycheck to one account or split it between multiple accounts. Choose the option that works best for your financial setup.

Submit the form. Most employers process direct deposit changes within one to two pay cycles. You may receive a small test deposit to verify the account.
Setting Up Direct Deposit for Freelance or Gig Income
If you receive payments from freelance platforms, gig apps, or contractor marketplaces, you can also use your Slash account details to receive those payments. Navigate to the platform's payment settings, select bank account as your payout method, and enter your Slash routing and account numbers.
