UF offers you the service of delivering your financial aid money more quickly than ever, by depositing your financial aid directly into your checking account!

Instead of receiving a check for your financial aid, your aid funds are wired directly to your checking account at the bank you choose. A written notification is sent to you each time a transfer is made to your account.

UF can direct deposit to any financial institution within the USA with electronic funds transfer capabilities. Contact your bank if you have questions about its ability to accept direct deposit.

You may want to consider opening a Gator 1 card/Wachovia account. Should you open a Wachovia account, your Gator 1 student ID will also become an ATM/Honor Card, enabling you to pay for many services on and off campus using your Gator 1 card. For more information, contact the bank at (352) 335-7537.
