Find your routing number on your personal checks, bank statements for a given bank account, or through your bank’s website. Note that sometimes direct deposit slips don’t contain a valid routing number.

MyEP uses a routing number validation system to ensure the correct routing number is received. If the system does not accept your routing number, confirm with your bank that you have the right number. Or, try a different account. Once you enter a valid number, your bank’s name displays.

This is not available via EP. Please contact your guild or union.

Direct deposit is available for U.S. and Canada only.

EP does not have a paperless option at this time. You may continue to view paystubs in myEP, however a physical paystub will be sent to your address on file regardless of direct deposit enrollment status.

If you’re setting up a new enrollment, choose Split between two accounts during your initial setup.

If you already have a single enrollment and want to add a secondary account, choose the Add Account(s) option below your current account, and follow these steps.
