Your Money the Electronic Way
Direct deposit is one of the easiest and safest ways to get
your paycheck or retirement check deposited directly into your
credit union account. The money comes to Ascension Credit Union
electronically on payday, and is available to you immediately.
No longer will you have to rush to beat the crowd or worry
about our closing times.
To begin utilizing Direct Deposit you will need to provide
your employer's payroll department with the Ascension Credit
Unions routing and transit number. Employees of the Ascension
Parish School Board may complete Direct Deposit paperwork with
us or at the School Board office.

If you want to directly deposit a government check (like Social
Security or Federal Pensions) you can call the Social Security
office toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 and ask to sign up for direct
deposit, or visit www.godirect.org for
assistance. You will need our routing and transit number which
is listed above.
Members with Direct Deposit may also elect to have funds from
their check distributed to more than one account. You can make
loan payments or add to your savings accounts without effort.
If your paycheck is directly deposited into your checking account,
you can direct us to automatically disperse funds to different
accounts, instead of having to transfer funds to your loan
or savings account each month. For example, if your $500 paycheck
is directly deposited and you want $50 to go into your vacation
account and $100 to go to savings, you can complete one form
and have those funds transferred automatically each time you
get paid.
Using your checking accounts automatic payment feature
is an easy way for you to pay bills without writing and mailing
checks each month. When setting up an automatic payment from
your account, there are certain numbers needed to make sure
your payment is made correctly. These numbers, at the bottom
of your checks, include:
- Routing number consists of 9 digits and
identifies that the funds will come from Ascension Credit
Union.
- MICR Account Number consists of 14 digits.
To ensure the payment will be processed, the entire 14 digit
number will need to be provided.
- Check number may or may not be required.
It will depend on how you are making the payment.
If you have questions about setting up your Direct Deposit or activating the Automatic Deduction feature, give Ascension Credit Union a call at 225-621-2800. We will assist you in every way we can.
