Add or edit bank account information for salary payments
Why the secure connection and user identifying are necessary?
Aalto university has a responsibility to keep your sensitive information secure and confidential. Especially details connected to salary payments are often targeted in phishing and other attemps to collect sensitive data. Aalto has taken these security measures to prevent and block such activities.
We recommend that you start by downloading the Microsoft Authenticator application and set it up with Aalto Multifactor Authentication instructions.
If you are using a personal device outside campus, you must connect with the Virtual Deskop and identify yourself with the Microsoft Authenticator to access bank account details. See instructions below in the vdi.aalto.fi-part.
Employees must use protected network connection and confirm their identity with Microsoft Authenticator app to add or update bank account details in Workday.
People at Aalto, i.e. those with an Aalto user ID, can connect their devices to Aalto University’s network outside of the network, by means of the AnyConnect VPN service. This helps them, for example, use the network’s internal services and read files stored on Aalto’s network disk
Access an Aalto virtual workstation from your own device from anywhere.
Default country for bank is Finland
- Finnish bank account details can be added directly
- If your bank account is located in a bank that is in a SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) country, please ask HR to first change the default country(eg. Germany, France, Sweden etc.)
- If your bank is located outside SEPA-area, submit the request in your inbox empty. Ask HR to provide a form for bank account details, that can be sent directly to payroll.
Payroll does not accept directly sent bank details for other than non-SEPA-country accounts.
