²With Early Pay, funds from an eligible incoming electronic direct deposit may be available for use up to two days before the scheduled payment date. Not all direct deposits are eligible for Early Pay Day. Direct Deposit must be associated with an SCCU checking account to qualify for Early Pay. Early availability of direct deposits is not guaranteed and may vary from deposit to deposit. Transaction limits and standard risk screening processes apply. Whether we make funds available early depends on when we receive the payor’s payment instructions, any limitations we set on the amount of early availability, and standard fraud prevention screening. Eligible direct deposits are limited to electronic direct deposits of your payroll, pension, and government benefit payments into any SCCU Checking Account. Other deposits or credits to your account, such as deposits of funds from person-to-person payment services (e.g. Zelle®, Venmo, or PayPal transfers), check or mobile deposits, and other online transfers are not eligible for Early Pay.
