My Bank Routing Number does not appear to be in the CSU Chico bank file. I received an error message when trying to add or modify my Direct Deposit information via Self-Service.
Can you please add:
Bank Routing # (must be 9-digits): Bank Name: Bank Street Address: Bank City, State & Zip; I understand that when I receive a reply that the Bank Routing Number has been added I can then go back to Self-Service to add or update my Direct Deposit information.
