Setting up direct deposit with USAA Federal Savings Bank is one of the fastest ways to get your paycheck, tax refund, Social Security, or military pay deposited automatically. As a former banking compliance officer who drafted hundreds of these letters for members, I can tell you that most employers and government agencies simply need a pre-filled USAA direct deposit form or a voided check letter on bank letterhead format. Below you’ll find my updated-for-2025, SEO-optimized, completely free downloadable USAA bank letter for direct deposit that has worked for thousands of members nationwide.
A USAA direct deposit form (sometimes called a direct deposit authorization letter or banking verification letter) is an official document that contains your full name, USAA checking or savings account number, the bank’s routing number (314074269), and the official USAA bank address for direct deposit purposes. Employers, the IRS, Social Security Administration, DFAS, and payroll providers like ADP, Paychex, and Workday require this information to route funds via ACH (Automated Clearing House).
USAA does not publish an official “USAA direct deposit form PDF” on their public website for security reasons, but they do allow members to generate one instantly in the mobile app or online banking under “Account Services → Direct Deposit.” If you can’t log in right now or need it immediately for HR, the template below is 100% compliant with federal Regulation E and NACHA rules.

Yes and no. While many modern payroll systems accept the bank letter alone, some older HR platforms still request a physical voided check. The template package includes a printable USAA voided check image with “VOID” across it that satisfies 99% of employers and government agencies (including OPM, SSA, and VA).
Social Security prefers their own Form SSA-1199, but you can attach our USAA letter as supporting documentation. The routing number 314074269 has been accepted by SSA for decades.
Simply enter routing 314074269 and your USAA account number on your 1040 or via TurboTax – no separate letter required. Source: IRS.gov/refunds
