Will my paycheck always be available two days early?
It depends. Best case scenario, you will receive your paycheck two days early. At the latest, you will receive your paycheck on your usual payday.
FCCU will deposit funds into your account as soon as we receive the payroll file from your employer (or your employer's ACH processor). That means that if there is a delay in submitting the payroll file, we may not receive it prior to your usual payday. FCCU can only deposit funds once we receive that payroll file– which could be on-time, one day early, or two days early.

My deposit wasn't posted early. Who should I contact?
For direct deposit questions, contact your payer first (for paychecks, this would be your employer).
