Direct Deposit

Categories: Banking, Tech

You worked your 40 hours slogging the sewage reclamation truck back and forth on the floor of Congress. You earned a grand for the privilege. Now it's time for your paycheck. Instead of it being snail mailed to you, you get it in email form; or rather, electronic form, as it is directly deposited into the Bank of America account you gave The Man when he hired you.

Less paper waste. Faster to get paid. Your paycheck's proceeds, after the myriad taxes were excised from it, were directly deposited into your bank account.
