** We offer the possibility of accessing incoming direct deposits made through ACH up to two days prior to the scheduled payment date. While we strive to provide early availability for direct deposits, it's important to note that this service is not guaranteed, and availability may vary for each deposit. Factors such as the timing of the originator's instructions, any predetermined limitations on early availability, and fraud prevention screening may influence fund availability. Please note that certain types of deposits, such as physical checks, remote check deposits, and other online transfers or electronic credits, are not eligible for Early Pay Day deposits or credits to your account.
