Important Update for Our Customers Receiving Social Security Benefits
Starting September 30, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury will no longer issue paper checks for most federal payments—including Social Security, Veterans benefits, and other federal benefits. This change is part of a nationwide effort to make payments safer, faster, and more secure.
If you or a loved one still receives a paper check, now is the time to make the switch to direct deposit—and we’re here to help every step of the way!
Why Switch to Direct Deposit?
• Security: Paper checks are 16 times more likely to be lost or stolen than electronic payments.
• Speed: Direct deposits arrive faster—no waiting for the mail.
• Convenience: Your money goes straight into your account, available for your use.
