Paychex Direct Deposit/Chase Pay Card Plus uses several originating banks to initiate payments into the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network to transfer funds from an employer’s bank account to employees’ accounts for payroll purposes.
Direct Deposit Time Frame
Paychex requires two business days to process direct deposit transactions. This time frame allows Paychex to verify successful collection of funds from the employer before depositing funds into a worker’s bank account.
Next day direct deposit transactions are not guaranteed. If payroll checks are dated for a holiday or weekend, the funds will not be deposited into the workers’ accounts until the following business day.
