Submit Direct Deposit Information (New Zealand)

To submit a Direct Deposit form for employees in New Zealand pay groups:

  1. Go to People, open the employee profile, click Forms, and then click Direct Deposit.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Identify your financial institution by filling out the Bank code field. This is the six-digit bank branch code of the financial institution of the account. If the number is valid, Dayforce automatically populates the read-only Branch & Location field with the name and location of the financial institution used for the direct deposit.
  4. Fill out the Account Number field. To ensure accuracy, type the number again in the Reenter Account Number field.
  5. Enter the name of the account holder in the Account Holder field.
  6. Select one of the following options in the Deposit Type setting to define how the amount will be distributed to this account:
    • For all pay to be distributed to this account, select Remainder/Full Amount.
    • For pay to go to more than one account, select Monetary Amount or Percentage. Dayforce displays a field where you need to enter the respective amount or percentage that you want to be distributed to the account.
  7. Attach additional information to the Supporting Documents section of the form as needed. See Attach Files to Forms.
  8. If you want pay to be distributed to multiple accounts, click Add and enter the account details. Enter the amount to be distributed to this account. If you want all remaining funds to be distributed to this account, select Remainder/Full Amount. Otherwise, select Monetary Amount or Percentage and enter the respective amount or percentage to be distributed to this account.
  9. Add any additional accounts and specify the amounts to be distributed to these accounts. The deposit type for the last account in the list must always be Remainder/Full Amount, so that the remaining funds go into this account.
  10. To change the priority order of the accounts, select the account then click Move Up or Move Down.
  11. Click Submit.

Note: When there is a pending change to direct deposit information, the Direct Deposit Form is locked and displays a warning message. Users can't make further edits to the information until the pending change is accepted or rejected.
