Direct Deposit Inquiry Screens
Financial Institution Information (BANKIN)

The BANKIN screen displays contact information for financial institutions that are eligible to receive direct deposit payments from the state. The screen is updated once a month.

Agencies may not contact a payee’s financial institution to request the return of Direct Deposit Payments Made in Error. Agencies may contact the financial institution to assist their payees in tracking their direct deposit payments but may not request the return of an erroneous payment.

BANKIN requires the nine-digit TRANSIT CODE for inquiries. It does not require a TIN.

A payee’s transit code can be found on the Payee Distribution – Direct Deposit (PYDIST) screen or on the Direct Deposit Authorization form. If the transit code on a Direct Deposit Authorization form is not on the BANKIN screen, the direct deposit setup and/or change will not process in TINS.

Access BANKIN through the TINS Inquiry Menu (INQMEN) screen or Line 1 Entry.

Steps:

1. Follow the instructions for the INQMEN Menu

   –OR–

   Enter BANKIN.(Nine-digit routing number) on Line 1 and press Enter.

2. Press Enter to display BANKIN with the financial institution information.

   Note: If the nine-digit number is invalid or not on file, TINS displays the message Invalid Bank Transit Code.

3. Use the Direction Message Keys to navigate through the screen information.
