Getting paid quickly and securely is one of the most important parts of any job. At Walgreens, employees can enjoy fast and reliable paycheck deposits through direct deposit—and the entire process is managed through the Walnet portal.

Whether you’re setting it up for the first time, switching banks, or fixing an issue, Walnet gives you full control over how and where you get paid.

Here’s a complete guide on how to use Walnet to manage your direct deposit like a pro.


Step 1: Log In to Walnet

To get started:

  • Visit the official Walnet login page (check with your manager if needed)
  • Enter your Employee ID and password
  • Go to the “Payroll” or “Pay Preferences” section in your dashboard

🔐 Tip: Always log in on a secure network when handling sensitive info like bank accounts.


Step 2: Set Up Your Direct Deposit

If you’re enrolling for the first time, here’s what to do:

  1. Click “Add New Account” or “Setup Direct Deposit”
  2. Enter the following information:
    • Bank name
    • Routing number
    • Account number
    • Account type (Checking or Savings)
  3. Choose your deposit preference:
    • 100% to one account
    • Split between accounts (e.g., 80% checking, 20% savings)
  4. Click Submit and confirm details

📝 Most changes take effect by your next pay cycle. Double-check your info to avoid payment delays.


Step 3: Edit or Update Direct Deposit Information

Need to change accounts? It’s easy:

  1. Log into Walnet
  2. Go to “Pay Preferences”
  3. Find your current account and click “Edit” or “Delete”
  4. Add the new account and assign deposit percentages
  5. Save your changes and confirm

📌 It’s best to make updates at least 5–7 days before payday to avoid interruption.


Step 4: Troubleshooting Direct Deposit Issues in Walnet

Problem: You Didn’t Get Paid

✅ Check Walnet first:

  • Make sure your direct deposit status says “Active”
  • Confirm your routing/account numbers are correct
  • Look at your latest paystub to see if a check was issued or if funds were deposited
  • Ensure your account isn’t still in “Pending” status

If everything looks fine in Walnet, contact your store manager or the Walgreens payroll help desk.


Problem: Deposit Went to the Wrong Account

If your pay went to an old or closed account:

  • Contact your bank immediately
  • Update your info in Walnet ASAP
  • Notify payroll to issue a stop payment or reissue

⏳ It may take 3–5 business days to process corrections, depending on your bank.


Problem: You Want to Switch from Paper Check to Direct Deposit

Just go to Walnet → Pay Preferences → Setup Direct Deposit, and follow the instructions. Once confirmed, paper checks will stop, and deposits will go directly to your chosen bank account.


Why Use Direct Deposit via Walnet?

  • Faster access to your pay (no waiting for paper checks)
  • More secure (no risk of lost or stolen checks)
  • Easier recordkeeping via paystubs in Walnet
  • More control with the ability to split deposits or make changes anytime

Final Thoughts

Walnet puts Walgreens employees in charge of their paycheck delivery—safely and efficiently. Whether you’re just starting or switching banks, managing direct deposit through Walnet is quick, easy, and reliable.

Remember: Always double-check your info and make changes early to avoid delays.

If you ever run into issues, your manager and payroll support team are there to help. Until then, let Walnet handle your deposits—so you can focus on everything else.
