I am not aware of any law that states that expense reimbursements have to be made by check. It probably depends on the company's policies. Perhaps, another attorney could correct me. I would recommend that you open a separate account just for this purpose. Maybe even include any banking fees in your expense report. As like you, I am concerned with the ability to withdraw. I certainly would not give them access to my main personal account.

They have no right to require you to give them withdrawal authority on any personal account.
