Direct deposit

Recipients are to receive payments from the National Research Council Canada (NRC) by electronic payment; please complete the direct deposit request form. Direct deposit payments will be made in Canadian dollars and can only be deposited into Canadian bank accounts.

Once payments are deposited, the NRC will send the following information by e-mail:

• amount of payment
• date of payment
• invoice number
• NRC reference number, and
• brief description of the payment

This e-mail notification will act in lieu of a cheque stub.

Important

• Must be a Canadian recipient holding a bank account in Canadian dollars (CAD).
• Note that Direct Deposit payments carry no stub information.

Changes to bank account used

If you wish to make any changes to the bank account used for payments (change of address, financial institution, branch, account number, etc.) you must complete a new direct deposit request form. When you request 1 of these changes, do not close the present account until you receive your payment in accordance with that change.
