Contractor Direct Deposit Form (2013)
Create a custom Contractor Direct Deposit Form 2013 that meets your industry’s specifications.
What the contractor direct deposit form does
The Contractor Direct Deposit Form (2013) records a contractor’s permission to receive payments through a specified bank account. It normally identifies the contractor, financial institution, routing number, account number, account type, and authorization signature or date. It is a payment-instruction record, not a substitute for a W-9, Form 1099-NEC, contract, or payroll classification decision. A payer can upload the 2013 form to signNow, place or review fields, send it to the contractor, and retain the signed copy with its audit trail.
Who uses this contractor form
Accounts payable
Accounts-payable teams use the Contractor Direct Deposit Form (2013) to collect payment instructions from independent contractors, verify bank details, and preserve authorization before recurring disbursements.
Contractor administration
Contractor administrators use signNow templates to route the 2013 authorization, monitor completion, and retain the signed record alongside contracts, invoices, and payment documentation.
Business types that use this form
The form is most useful when a payer needs documented, reviewable banking instructions from contractors before releasing payments.
Solo contractors use the 2013 authorization to give one payer documented instructions for recurring deposits without exchanging revised bank details through unsecured email. Construction and field-service businesses collect contractor banking instructions across project teams, then connect signed records to payment administration and contract files. Enterprise accounts-payable departments use templates, permissions, and audit trails to standardize contractor authorizations across business units while separating sensitive financial information.
These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.
How the contractor form workflow works
The signNow workflow turns the paper-era 2013 authorization into a controlled electronic record without changing its payment instructions.

Resolve contractor form issues
Address field detection, plan limits, signature validity, privacy, and IRS reporting separately before relying on the signed authorization.
signNow’s document editor can auto-detect many fillable areas, but older 2013 PDFs may need manual field placement. Compare every detected field with the printed form before sending, especially bank routing, account number, account type, contractor name, and authorization date.
The Business plan includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, mobile apps, and audit trails at $8 per user per month when billed annually. Business Premium adds bulk send at $15 per user per month annually; Enterprise adds advanced signer authentication at $30.
signNow supports ESIGN and UETA requirements for electronic signatures, including signer intent, consent, attribution, and record reproduction. For consumer-facing transactions, provide the electronic-record disclosure required by 15 U.S.C. §7001(c) before signing.
A contractor can sign from a browser or signNow mobile app after opening the email invitation. If stronger identity evidence is needed, use SMS authentication or another available signer-authentication control and retain the resulting audit trail.
A direct-deposit authorization contains sensitive financial information. Limit template and document access through account roles, avoid sending account details in ordinary email, and use signNow’s encrypted storage and audit trail for the signed record.
A signed direct-deposit authorization does not replace tax reporting. If payments meet the 2026 Form 1099-NEC threshold of $2,000, apply IRS reporting rules separately; the deposit authorization only records payment instructions.
