FAQ:
What is Early Pay? Early Pay is a membership privilege that is provided to Dubois-Pike Federal Credit Union members who have a direct deposit. We know how critical it is to have your money when you need it. Many employers process payroll a few days before payday. If we receive deposit information for your account early, you will have the option to claim your funds from you direct deposit up to two days early, rather than on your regularly scheduled payday.
When will Early Pay begin? Early pay will begin October 29th, 2026.
What if I don’t have direct deposit? All you need to do is set up a direct deposit to your account through your employer or call for assistance and we will help you get this set up!
How do I know if my direct deposit qualifies? If your deposit typically shows as pending within your online banking prior to your actual pay date, this would qualify the direct deposit for Early Pay.
What does it cost to participate in Early Pay? There will be a $10.00 fee per item. For example, if you receive bi-weekly paychecks, the Early Pay fee would be $10.00 per paycheck.
Will I always get my direct deposit early? There’s no guarantee that you will always receive ACH or direct deposits early, since it depends on when it is received by us for posting.
Will this impact my ACH distributions? No. ACH distributions will run as normal. If you want to make changes to your distributions, call for assistance.
Will this impact my automatic payments? No. Automatic payments running through the account will not be affected and will still be withdrawn on the normal date. Such automatic payments include vehicle loans, mortgage loans, credit card payments, utility payments, etc. Account holders are responsible for ensuring funds are available on scheduled payment dates.
Will this impact internal transfers on my account? No. Scheduled transfers will not be affected and will still be transferred on the normal date. This type of transaction includes internal loan payments or share to share transfers, etc. Account holders are responsible for ensuring funds are available on scheduled transfer dates.
How will I know when I’ve received the funds? Monitor your account with online banking or mobile app for pending credits. Once you confirm to have the funds deposited early, your funds will be available.
What if I change jobs? You will need to set up direct deposit through your new employer. They will need your account number and routing number to begin initiating deposits. Let us know if you need this information and we can provide it to you.
Why did I receive my direct deposit early last time but not this time? Employers don’t always submit their direct deposit information at the same time each pay period. Unfortunately, we do not have control over the timing. You can monitor your account with online banking or mobile app for pending credits.
How will Early Pay affect my Bill Pay payments? We recommend keeping your bill payment dates the same. As a reminder, your direct deposit may not always come early.
I have a recurring direct deposit with DPFCU, why am I not receiving my deposit early? If you are not receiving your deposit early, that could mean that your employer is not submitting your direct deposit information in advance of your payday.
