Prevent Direct Deposit Fraud

Agencies must continue to guard against direct deposit fraud. The Comptroller’s office lists Fraud Prevention Recommendations on TexPayment Resource.

Agencies can also:

  • Encrypt or password-protect internal and external emails that include account and routing numbers.
  • Require the existing account and routing numbers on file for change requests before making those changes to ensure the requests are from legitimate payees.
  • Use daily direct deposit reports to verify direct deposit setups and changes.

Contact Payment Services with questions about direct deposits.

Current Forms Always Available on FMX

Check the Forms page on FMX to ensure you use the current version. Previously downloaded forms might be outdated. The top of every FMX page has a link to the Forms page.

Topic pages such as Appropriations and Payment Services link to their specific forms on the Forms page.

Note: Payment Services forms on FMX are secured and require login to prevent unauthorized use. If an agency needs to maintain any of these forms on its website, it must ensure the forms require login and that the most current version is used.
