It’s easy to get your Social Security or SSI (Supplemental Security Income) benefits directly deposited into your account.

If you are currently receiving benefits and you have a Martha’s Vineyard Bank account:

  • Use online banking to start or change Direct Deposit (Social Security benefits only), or
  • Contact a Martha’s Vineyard Bank representative for assistance, or
  • Call Social Security toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), or
  • Visit your local Social Security office

If you are not currently receiving benefits but plan to apply:

Tell the Social Security representative when you apply for benefits that you want to sign up for Direct Deposit. If you already have a Martha’s Vineyard Bank account, have your checkbook or a copy of your bank statement with you.

You can download a direct deposit form on the Martha's Vineyard bank Switch Kit page.
