Early Pay direct deposit details
-
No, there is no need to enroll. Customers are automatically enrolled in Early Pay.
If you’re not currently enrolled in direct deposit you can:
- Log in to Online Banking and use the direct deposit form under the Customer Service tab.
- Learn more about enrolling in direct deposit or visit a local branch.
- Now Card customers can access the Now Card direct deposit form, or visit a local branch.

- Businesses and employers don’t always submit their direct deposit information at the same time each pay period. For example, one pay period, they may submit it one day early, and the next, they may submit it two days early. Unfortunately, we don’t have control over the timing. However, you can subscribe to receive alerts so you’re notified when you receive your direct deposits early. Learn more about alerts.

If you don't want to be enrolled in Early Pay, you can visit your local branch or message us within Online Banking to opt out of this service. If you choose to opt out of receiving your direct deposit early, it could take up to five business days before your changes take effect. In rare cases, it could take up to 60 business days before your changes take effect.

- Direct deposits that may be received early include payroll and government disbursements, such as Social Security, retirement and state unemployment benefits. Deposits from employers that are notated as payroll or something similar may be eligible for Early Pay.
