The Direct Deposit Information Form is a crucial document used across Nigerian businesses to establish electronic payment arrangements for employee compensation. This form is designed in accordance with Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) guidelines, the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act (BOFIA) 2020, and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) 2019. It serves as the primary instrument for collecting necessary banking information and obtaining employee authorization for automatic salary deposits. The form is typically implemented during employee onboarding or when an employee wishes to change their bank account details, and includes sections for personal information, bank account details, payment preferences, and required authorizations. Its standardized format ensures compliance with Nigerian banking regulations while facilitating efficient payroll processing.
