Select your First Citizens Bank account or accounts from a dropdown menu and specify how much to deposit into each one.
Step 3
Enter your employer's details

Navigate to your direct deposit dashboard immediately after you submit. You can also set up additional recurring deposits anytime.
More ways to use direct deposit
Set up federal and non-employer payments
Currently, direct deposit from government and non-employer sources of income—like pension and retirement payments and investment, trust, and annuity distributions—aren't eligible to be set up through First Citizens Digital Banking. You can set up your direct deposit using these other methods.
