What kind of direct deposits can I get early?
Salary, social security, pension, military payments, and VA benefits are all included.
Will my direct deposit always arrive 2 days early?
It depends. You might get your direct deposit 2 days earlier, 1 day earlier, or on pay day.
Here are some reasons you might not get your direct deposit early
- You recently set up direct deposit for the first time
- Your direct deposit is not eligible such as bank to bank transfer
- There’s a payroll system issue with your payer
Early direct deposits depend on timing. Your payer must provide payment details on time so the payment can process early. If the deposit doesn’t arrive early expect it to arrive on your regularly scheduled payday
How does it work?
Your employer submits payroll. Federal Reserve sends this information to CRCU and we credit your account immediately (up to two days early) vs. waiting for the specified date.

*Preauthorized ACH credits received by Community Resource Credit Union may be credited to your account as soon as two calendar days early depending on timing of receipt into our Automatic Clearing House (ACH) database. On occasion, we may not receive information ahead of time from the ACH originator and may not be able to post your deposit early. In this case, your deposit will post on the scheduled posting day.
