**Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of when the payer submits the payment file. We generally make these funds available on the day the payment file is received, which may be up to four days earlier than the payment date for government benefits and up to two days early for a regular paycheck.

 ∆Funds are FDIC-insured up to applicable limits through an AMBA member bank. Please see your agreement and related materials for further details
