Why don't more sponsors offer direct deposit?

It would make sense that, for webmasters in the same country as their banks, the 1099 Independent Contractors could get paid via direct deposit if they do offer that option to the W2 employees that are on their payroll.

It doesn't look very expensive when looking at these bank sites

I could do it with bank easy if I had to

Direct Pay access costs $10 per month.

Payments to Personal Accounts of Employees or Contractors: There is no per-payment charge for payments made to Wells Fargo personal bank accounts. Payments to non-Wells Fargo personal bank accounts are $0.50 per payment.

Payments to Business Accounts of Vendors or Service Providers: All payments made to business bank accounts are $3.

There is a one time set-up fee for Direct Pay of $24.95 (waived until December 31, 2007).

That has to be cheaper then cutting checks..

I imagine most banks are similar in cost

Bank of america offers it and I know of sponsors that use this bank but don't offer DD.
