Find your routing number on your personal checks, bank statements for a given bank account, or through your bank’s website. Note that sometimes direct deposit slips don’t contain a valid routing number.

MyEP uses a routing number validation system to ensure the correct routing number is received. If the system does not accept your routing number, confirm with your bank that you have the right number. Or, try a different account. Once you enter a valid number, your bank’s name displays.

This is not available via EP. Please contact your guild or union.

Direct deposit is available for U.S. and Canada only.

If you’re setting up a new enrollment, choose Split between two accounts during your initial setup.

You may review your payment information by loging into our employee portal at my.ep.com to confirm a check has been processed as Direct Deposit. Direct Deposit funds could take 24 to 48 hours for your bank to credit your account after payment has been posted. If after this time you still have not received your deposit please submit our Crew & Talent Inquiries and Corrections form.

Your Direct Deposit enrollment status updates in myEP in three to four business days. This happens after your request is reviewed and backup document requirements are met. Turnaround times can be affected by request volume.

You will receive an email confirmation when your enrollment is active and approved. Check for the Active status on your accounts at any time on your Settings page or Direct Deposit Enrollment page.

Pending
EP is reviewing your Direct Deposit enrollment.

Active
EP verified your account(s) and you’re ready to receive Direct Deposit payments.

Rejected
EP couldn’t approve your Direct Deposit enrollment.

Suspended
A Direct Deposit transmission returned to EP after other deposits went through.

If your Direct Deposit enrollment is rejected, expect an email alert that includes the reason. Or check anytime by logging in and navigating to the Settings page or the Direct Deposit Enrollment page. From there, view the status and the reason.

Common reasons enrollments are rejected include:

• The backup documentation didn’t include your name or account number.
• The name on the document didn’t match the name of the person and/or entity being paid (Corporation).
• The account number entered didn’t match the account number on the document.

A Direct Deposit enrollment is suspended when a direct deposit transmission is returned to EP when EP previously made deposits to that account. Contact your bank to resolve. Or, remove the account from myEP and submit a new enrollment for a different, valid account.
