Business Convenience
Shell Federal Credit Union offers its business members several time-saving and money- saving tools to help your business run more efficiently. Processing your payroll through ACH Direct Deposit will help improve your cash flow. Setting up your business’ monthly expenses using ACH Direct Payment can reduce your administrative operating costs, improve your company’s image and enhance the relationships you have with companies and clients with whom you do business.

ACH, also known as ACH Origination is a fast way to get money moved from one institution to another on a recurring basis. ACH origination gives you convenient options to move your money - whether your goal is to set aside the same amount each week/month as savings or you want to process payroll directly from your business accounts, securely and in a timely manner.


Business Direct Deposit

Business Benefits for Direct Deposit:

● Reduce costs of buying and mailing checks
● Fewer checks to print and store
● Eliminate lost and stolen checks
● Costs are higher to process paper checks than using a Direct Deposit transaction
● Less manual check handling means reduced potential for errors
● Simplified account reconcilement.
● Your account statement will have a single dollar amount for the total amount of the direct deposit transactions versus individual check amounts to reconcile
● Administration costs reduced with electronic check preparation
● Companies report savings of more than 40 cents in processing costs for each paper check converted to Direct Deposit
● Employee productivity can increase with less time spent away from work cashing or depositing their paychecks.
● Direct Deposit adds more incentive to competitively attract employees.

...Employee Benefits
For employees, direct deposit eliminates a trip to the bank or credit union and frees up lunchtime on payday. Employees who work shifts or who can’t leave the premises during the workday know their paycheck is on deposit and waiting for them. No more worrying about beating their checks to the bank on payday. They are confident that their earnings are in their accounts on time, every time on their scheduled payday - regardless if they are at work, on vacation, traveling or sick.

Save Time and Money. Direct Deposit and Direct Payments can make your
life easier!

...Guaranteed Payments
Direct Payments allow on-time payments of insurance premiums, utility bills (power, phone, cable, water, etc), maintenance fees, and service dues, just to name a few. Many companies bill for a regular service, such as professionals, (doctors, lawyers, accountants) and can offer ACH as a means of on-time payments. As the float on paper checks has decreased, writing checks is no longer a way to extend posting of debit items.

...Reducing Expenses to Increase Profits
For Shell FCU Business members, using electronic services means no stamps, envelopes, check fees, late fees, and wasted time spent manually processing checks.

Not convinced ACH will work at your business? When you come in to open your Business account, ask a Business Services Representative to explain just how easy it is to get setup.

Shell Federal Credit Union has partnered with top-rated companies to help businesses, like you, succeed.

One such company is:

● GoldLeaf Technologies, Inc.,
which maintains the computer software programming that will allow businesses to originate ACH transactions.
