Colorado PERA offers direct deposit to ensure your monthly benefit checks are securely deposited at your financial institution. Consider having your monthly benefit check automatically deposited into your checking or savings account. This direct deposit is:

1. Reliable. Feel confident knowing your check is in your account on the last business day of the month. No waiting for checks to arrive so your bills can be paid.
2. Time-saver. Avoid driving time and lines at the bank.
3. Accessible. Log in to your account anytime at copera.org and view your statements online.
4. Safe. Without the check to get lost, stolen, or delayed in the mail, there is less risk of fraud, identity theft or forgery.
5. Green. You’ll use less gas without a trip to the bank and less paper without a paper check.

Signing up for direct deposit is easy. Just log in to your account at copera.org and complete the Direct Deposit by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) form.
