Direct Deposit at SMC
Saint Mary's encourages employees to enroll in direct deposit. Benefits of doing so include:
- timely delivery of payroll funds
- eco-friendly, reduced use of paper
- convenient, no need to deposit a check yourself!
Please note: direct deposit for Payroll and "Refunds, Reimbursements & Accounts Payable payments" are two different departments and banking information is maintained separately for each.
UPDATE 10/14/26: Currently the self service option, Banking Information, is disabled in GaelXpress.
Employees needing to add or make changes to current Payroll bank information for Direct Deposit, please visit the Payroll Office (located in the Business Office) to fill out a paper form. You will be asked for a valid photo ID in order to submit a form.
Direct Deposit FAQs:
How do I find my bank routing and account number?
If you have personal checks for your bank account, you can find a bank's routing number and your account number on the bottom (see below). Most banks also have this information available through your online banking, otherwise you may contact your financial institution. Please note you are looking for your routing number for ACH transfers and NOT a routing number for wire transfers.
Can I split my deposit to multiple bank accounts?
Yes! Our system cannot accept percentage (%) split deposits, however you may designate a specific dollar amount to one (or more) bank account(s) and designate another bank account for the remainder of your net pay check.
Example
Employee wants $200 of their paycheck deposited to Account #1 and the rest deposited to Account #2:
Deposit Account #1
Amount: $200
Deposit Account #2
"Remainder of Net Pay Check"
Employee earns a net of $450, result:
$200 is deposited to Account #1
$250 is deposited to Account #2
Next period, employee earns only net $150, result:
$150 is deposited to Account #1
$0 is deposited to Account #2
