Direct deposit to more than one account seems pretty common, at least at the places where I've worked. Even if inter-account transfers are simple, if you know that about 20% of your paycheck needs to end up in your checking account to cover expenses, and 2% needs to go into your daughter's college savings account, and 15% is slated for your investment account, why wouldn't you set it up so you don't have to keep making those transfers?
