Updating Direct Deposit Information

To do so, we need the updated information on file for you and that's easy to do by completing the information on this Direct Deposit form and sending the updated information to accounting@boardingarea.com.

My direct deposit was sent to a closed bank account. What do I do?
It happens, bank accounts aren't what they used to be. So, if your direct deposit was sent to a recently closed bank account, then the payment will be automatically returned to us in a few days and we'll know you did not actually receive your money. If you have a new bank account, then follow the instructions in the updating direct deposit section above. Resending your direct deposit can take about a week if we have your new bank info.
