Completing the MTA payroll direct deposit authorization online is quick using our free PDF editor. You can fill out, sign, and download the document in minutes without any software. Here is how to do it in five steps.
What you need before you start
Gather the following information for each bank account you want to add:
- Bank or credit union name and address
- Account type: checking or savings
- 9-digit routing number (ABA number)
- Account number
- Deposit allocation: fixed dollar amount, percentage, or balance of net pay
LIRR employees should confirm whether their agreement requires an approver signature before submitting. If splitting pay across multiple accounts, plan the allocation in advance so all percentages or amounts add up correctly to 100% of net pay.
Step 1: Open the document in our online PDF editor
Click the "Get Form" button at the top of this page. The BSC MTA Direct Deposit form opens directly in your browser. No plugin, download, or software installation is needed. You can start filling it out immediately without creating an account.
Step 2: Select your transaction type and enter bank account details
Choose whether you are enrolling in direct deposit for the first time, updating existing account information, or canceling your payroll arrangement. Then enter your bank or credit union name, account type, routing number, and account number. Specify how you want your net pay deposited into that account: a fixed dollar amount, a fixed percentage, or the remaining balance after other accounts are funded.
Step 3: Add up to five additional bank accounts
The authorization supports up to 6 accounts total. For each extra account, provide the bank name, account type, routing number, account number, and how to distribute pay. You can combine fixed amounts and percentages across accounts. One account must be set to receive the net pay balance after all other allocations are fulfilled. Repeat this process for each additional banking institution.
Step 4: Verify routing numbers and deposit amounts
Review each entry carefully before saving. Confirm that routing and account numbers match your bank statement exactly, since a single digit error can redirect your entire paycheck. Verify that all deposit amounts and percentages sum correctly across all 6 accounts. If you notice any mistake, correct it before moving to the next step.
Step 5: Sign the authorization and submit it to the Business Service Center
Add your employee signature and the current date. LIRR employees also require an approver signature. Enter the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number. Send the completed payroll authorization to the Business Service Center (BSC) by email or fax. Processing typically takes 1-2 pay cycles, so submit changes well before your next payroll date. Keep a signed copy for your personal records.
Once saved, your work is available in your FormsPal cabinet at any time. For other payroll and banking authorizations, see our Citibank direct deposit form, the ADP direct deposit enrollment form, or the ACH authorization form. MTA employees may also need the MTA-6 form for related payroll paperwork.
