An ABA routing transit number is a 9-digit identification number assigned to financial institutions in the United States. Routing numbers are sometimes referred to as ABA numbers or routing transit numbers (RTN) and can be used to make electronic deposits and withdrawals to and from your accounts through Automated Clearing House (ACH) or wire transfer.

Setting Up Direct Deposit

State Retirement Benefits

Retirees can also complete the North Carolina Department of State Treasurer Form 170, Authorizing Direct Deposit, and mail it to:

Department of State Treasurer
Retirement Systems Division

Federal Government Employment

Federal government employees (including military) should contact their employer’s payroll or human resources department to initiate or make changes to direct deposit. The Direct Deposit Authorization Form can be used to provide necessary information.

Employees can also download and complete sections 1 and 2 of the US Treasury’s Direct Deposit Sign-Up Form (Form 1199A). Section 3 must be completed by a local Credit Union branch before the employee submits the form to their employer's payroll office.

Federal Benefit Payments

Members who receive federal benefit payments generally must set up an electronic payment option when they apply to receive their payments.

If you are already receiving benefit payments and want to make changes to your existing direct deposit, visit the US Treasury Department’s GoDirect webpage for more information and links to the applicable paying agency’s website and/or phone number.

1 Early deposit is not guaranteed, so check your available balance before making or scheduling any payments in reliance on these funds.
