Better yet, go to payroll and have them split your check, $x or x% in savings and the rest in checking. If you do it by percentage then your savings will grow in proportion to your income.
- inetsee 7y agoAs good as this idea is, I suspect that relatively few payroll departments are set up to provide this option, and most of them would resist going to the extra effort to provide it.
- astura 7y agoWhat? All the major payroll processors/front ends (ADP, Paychex, PeopleSoft) support this "out of the box," no problem whatsoever. Even when my employers was on paper forms for direct deposit there was always an option for multiple bank accounts. I've never NOT had my paycheck deposited into a multiple accounts except for when I was a teenager at my first job.
- kiwijamo 7y agoMy employer’s payroll charges a fee for each additional bank account that they are to pay into.
- grecy 7y agoI like the idea, though I personally prefer to have all the control. Payroll will get mighty annoyed with me when I want to change the amount going into a savings account every couple of weeks.
