How does Early Payday work?
When we receive notification of your direct deposit from your payor, we credit the funds to your account up to two days early. No enrollment or costs are associated. Just set up direct deposit and you're good to go.
Note: Funds will be made available when payor submits payment information and it is processed by 1st United. If payor does not send the payment, we reserve the right to recover amount we credited early. There is no guarantee that direct deposit will be made available early. Subject to system limitations.
What direct deposits are eligible?
Electronic deposits of your paycheck, payroll deductions, pension checks, or federal recurring payments (for example, Social Security payments) including any ACH payment or electronic funds transfer.
Will my direct deposits always come in early?
There’s no guarantee that you will always receive your direct deposits up to two days early since it depends on when each payroll item is received by us. Make sure to monitor your accounts to confirm your direct deposit is in your account before you spend the funds.
How will I know when I'm paid?
You can get notified of when your funds are deposited by setting up account alerts in mobile banking. Learn how to set up account alerts
