Smart Banking, Elite Benefits
1 – Early Pay is a free feature available to members with eligible America’s Christian Credit Union (ACCU) personal checking and savings accounts with active direct deposit enrollment. ACCU may make certain direct deposits available up to two business days before we receive the funds from the payor, which is typically your employer. Early payment is not guaranteed and may vary between pay periods, as our ability to provide early access to funds depends on when we receive notice of payment from your payor. It is your responsibility to verify that funds are available in your account before spending them, and ACCU is not liable for overdrafts or fees resulting from the assumption of early fund availability. Not all direct deposits are eligible for this feature; eligible deposits are generally limited to U.S. domestic electronic direct deposits such as payroll, pension, and government benefit payments made through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. Deposits that typically do not qualify include person-to-person payment services (e.g., Zelle®, Venmo, PayPal), mobile check deposits, instant payments via the RTP® network or FedNow® Service, wire transfers, and other online transfers. Early Pay does not apply to paper checks or non-ACH transactions. No fees are charged for Early Pay, though standard account fees may still apply. Early Pay is available for personal accounts only, and ACCU reserves the right to modify or discontinue this service at any time without prior notice.
