FA Express Direct Deposit

TMCC's controller's office now offers direct deposit as a quicker and more convenient means of providing student refund checks. Instead of mailing a check, the college will deposit the funds directly into the student's checking or savings account. For students who do not have a checking or savings account, please visit the Banks in Reno/Sparks page for further information.

Advantages

• Quick Access-the funds are normally available within 24 hours of transmission.
• Convenience-no waiting on the mail or in line at a bank.
• Safety-prevents check loss or theft.
