You may be automatically enrolled in Early Pay after 2-3 pay periods. The Credit Union will make your payroll funds available as soon as your verified employer/payor notifies the Credit Union of the payment, which can be 1-2 days before most financial institutions make the funds available. If there is a weekend or bank holiday, Early Pay will be posted on the next business day after the weekend or bank holiday. Employers/payors must be verified by the Credit Union. If they cannot be verified, the Credit Union will not make the payment available early. You will receive a notification of the payment and the available funds will be indicated in online or mobile banking.
