Benefits of receiving your refund by direct deposit
- Direct Deposit is the fastest and most secure way to receive your refund. Get your money faster!
- By electing this option, your refund will be directly deposited into your checking or savings account, at the financial institution of your choice, which will ultimately be faster than waiting for the check to arrive in the mail.
- Please be sure to keep your bank account information up to date in my.uncc.edu. Failure to have current direct deposit information will delay your refund.
