Benefits of enrolling your business

Transcript/Captions – Benefits of enrolling your business

Start of clip.

(A customer is shown walking in front of a business building and entering a store)

If you are like most Canadian small business owners, you're already using electronic banking.

You know it's a fast, efficient and cost-effective way to stay on top of your business and meet the needs of your clients.

(A small business owner is shown sitting at a desk using a phone)

The Government of Canada is following suit. It's modernizing the way it issues payments to Canadians by switching to direct deposit.

(A small business owner is shown talking to a customer)

Nobody will benefit more than business owners, who receive a variety of payments from the federal government.

(The words GST/HST Returns, Accounts Payable and Corporate Tax Refunds appear on a grey screen)

They will see their office processes simplified as government moves from traditional paper payments to electronic transactions.

(A small business owner is shown talking with a customer)

Enrolling in the federal direct deposit program is the next step to helping this small business owner streamline her business banking.

(The discussion between the small business owner and a customer continues in the store's showroom)

(A small business owner is shown on the screen)

It's been a record-breaking year but it just means I'm busier than ever which means saving time is all the more important.

A lot of our business transactions now are direct deposit into our bank account,

saving time not having to go to the bank is a big improvement in terms of how I manage my time which is a limited resource.

Small business owners aren't the only Canadians who should register for direct deposit—

students counting on Canada Student Loans,

(Students are shown getting ready for graduation)

parents expecting the Canada Child Benefit,

(a family with children is shown playing in a field)

unemployed workers waiting for Employment Insurance benefits,

(a woman is shown researching jobs on a public library computer)

and seniors who rely on their monthly Canada Pension Plan payment, will also enjoy the convenience of direct deposit –

(an older couple is shown walking on a beach)

their money is deposited directly into their account, it's safe, secure and convenient.

(an older couple is shown sitting on a park bench)

From an environmental standpoint I like direct deposit because it's not only immediate but it's also paperless.

(A small business owner and a customer are shown completing a purchase transaction using electronics)

(A small business owner is shown on the screen)

Our customers are looking more and more for solutions that are socially responsible and I find that it helps reduce clutter at the same time.

So if it's good for me and good for the environment, that's a bonus.

Be part of the Canadian businesses already enjoying the benefits of direct deposit.

(A small business owner is shown completing a purchase transaction and handing a bag to a customer)

Enrol today: it's fast, convenient, reliable and secure.

(The words "To find out more visit directdeposit.gc.ca" appear on a grey screen followed by the Government of Canada Wordmark)

To find out more visit directdeposit.gc.ca.

(The words "Public Works and Government Services Canada with the Canada flags" appear on a grey screen followed by the Government of Canada Wordmark)
