How do I set up direct deposit?

With direct deposit at River, you can automatically have your paychecks and other payments sent to your account.

There are two ways to set up direct deposit: directly in your River account by using Pinwheel, which only takes a few minutes, or by providing your account and routing information directly to your employer or depositor.

To set up directly in your River account:

1. Log into River. Each of your accounts will have their unique account and routing number.
2. Tap on "Profile & Settings." If you are using the River app, tap the profile icon in the upper-left corner.
3. Under "Funding," tap "Direct deposit." If you are using the River app, tap "Banking & Funding." and then "Direct deposit."
4. Find your payroll provider by tapping on the icon or search for it by typing the name.
5. You will be redirected to log into your provider's site to choose how much of your paycheck should be deposited into your River account.
6. Once the flow with your payroll provider is completed, you will be redirected to your River account.

To use your account and routing numbers:

1. Log into River. Each of your accounts will have their unique account and routing number.
2. Tap on "Profile & Settings." If you are using the River app, tap the profile icon in the upper-left corner.
3. Under "Funding," tap "Direct deposit." If you are using the River app, tap "Direct deposit" under "Banking & Funding." 
4. Tap "Set up manually."
5. Here you will find your River account details to directly share with your employer or depositor. This includes your account number, routing number, bank name, and account type. If your employer or payroll provider requests a banking address, you can use: Lead Bank 1801 Main St, Kansas City, MO 64108
