I have completed all the setup steps to pay employees via direct deposit, but it says paper check. I have entered the two deposit amounts for our bank in first time setup

Welcome to the Community space, @divisioniiiconst.  I understand it's unusual on your end to show a Paper Check instead of a Direct Deposit after you submit payroll since you completed all the setup. Let me share helpful insights about the Direct Deposit setup.

After you verify your bank account, let's ensure to set up your employees' direct deposit. There are cases after they verified the bank account, they thought that it was now set up. However, the employee's payment method hasn't changed. Here's how:

1. Set up your company payroll for direct deposit.  Check out this article for more info: Set up your company payroll for direct deposit.
2. Get a direct deposit authorization form.
3. Add direct deposit to your employees.

For the detailed steps, check out this article: Set up direct deposit for employees.

Additionally, we'll share these articles to help you manage your payroll:

• Set up and manage payroll schedules.
• Add pay history to QuickBooks Online Payroll.
• Print or reprint paychecks and pay stubs.
