Refunds

Mississippi State University offers direct deposit as a convenient and secure way for students to have their refund electronically deposited into their checking or savings account. This process is fully automated and is the University’s preferred refund method. It is easy to set up and allows your funds to be available in your bank account in less than 48 hours.

Two Options Are Available

e-Refund (Direct Deposit)

Please note: If your banking information changes or the existing bank account is closed, you must update your account information in Banner prior to your refund being processed. Failure to update this information will result in a delay of your e-Refund.
