Payroll Deduction


Important Notice

Payroll Deduction allowed participating members to make deposits and loan payments to their MECU deposit and loan accounts at time of payroll processing. Effective on the date stated in the letter mailed to you, the payroll deduction service will be discontinued in an effort to provide you greater control over your funds and payments.

Convenient Options to Make Deposits and Loan Payments

Direct Deposit
Your HR department provided instructions, found on your letter, to set up Direct Deposit to continue having your funds credited to your MECU account. In order to set up Direct Deposit, you will need MECU’s ABA/Routing number, which is 252076468, and your savings or checking account number which can be found within Online Banking or on your monthly statement.

Once the Direct Deposit is credited to your designated MECU account, automatic transfers between your MECU accounts are easy to schedule within Online Banking.

Online Banking
  • Within Online Banking, you can transfer funds between your deposit accounts.
  • You may make a payment by performing a transfer from your MECU account to your loan. 
  • You may also utilize External Loan Pay to make a payment online using an account from another financial institution.
