FAQs

How does getting paid early work?

Early direct deposit works by posting ACH deposits when received, rather than waiting for the settlement date.

Is there a fee for getting my paycheck early?

Nope! We don’t charge for direct deposit – and our checking accounts have no monthly maintenance fees.

Do I need a minimum deposit amount to qualify?

There’s no minimum deposit required to access your funds early.

How will I know when my direct deposit is available?

We post your deposit to your account as soon as we receive the funds from your employer or payor. This could be up to two business days before your usual payday.

Will every direct deposit always arrive early?

While we work to make funds available as soon as possible, timing depends on when the payor sends the deposit. Not every deposit will necessarily arrive early.

Does this work if I split my paycheck direct deposit between a checking and savings account?

Yes! Qualifying ACH payments will post early in both your checking and your savings account.

Is my money secure with 91ºÚÁÏÍø First?

Absolutely. Deposits are fully insured – up to $250,000 by the NCUA, and additional amounts are covered by MSIC.
