Direct deposit request
Direct deposit request
You can start, update, or stop direct deposit online, and also view direct deposit transactions through:
-
My Business Account at canada.ca/my-cra-business-account, if you are a business owner
-
Represent a Client at canada.ca/taxes-representatives, if you are a representative with level three (delegated authority) authorization
Representatives authorized at level one or two with online access can see direct deposit transactions at canada.ca/taxes-representatives.
You can also sign up for direct deposit or change your account information through the websites of many financial institutions. Once you provide consent for direct deposit, your CRA direct deposit information will be updated the next day. Visit your financial institution's website for information on how to sign up.
For more information, go to canada.ca/cra-direct-deposit.
Your direct deposit request will stay in effect until you change the information or cancel the service. However, if your financial institution advises the CRA that you have a new account, the CRA may deposit your payments into the new account. If, for any reason, it cannot deposit a payment into a designated account, the CRA will mail a cheque to you at the address on file at the time of the original payment.
Note
The CRA must generate all large-value refunds
($25 million or more) through Lynx, Canada's
high-value payment system. To avoid potential delays,
you have to be registered for direct deposit and be
registered on the Lynx system. If you are expecting a
large-value refund, arrange for direct deposit and
contact your tax centre to make the necessary
arrangements.
