Stimulus Check Direct Deposit?

I used TurboTax for my 2018 and 2019 taxes. I elected to have my refunds mailed to me instead of using direct deposit. However, I received the stimulus check by direct deposit. How would this happen, if I never entered my bank information into my taxes.

 

Thank you!

    are you on social security by chance?

    No, I am not on Social Security.

     

    Could it be because I work for a university?

    are you sure the payment was for stimulus and not something else? otherwise, there is no way for the IRS to have your banking information......
