Get Your Money Sooner at Georgia Heritage Federal Credit Union with Early Pay

When it comes to managing your finances, getting access to your hard-earned money sooner can make a big difference. At Georgia Heritage Federal Credit Union, we understand the importance of timely access to your funds. That’s why we offer Early Pay, a feature that allows you to access your direct deposits up to two days earlier.

What Is Early Pay?

Early Pay is a default benefit we provide to all of our members. Once we receive notification of an incoming ACH (Automated Clearing House) deposit, such as your payroll or government benefits, we make those funds available to you immediately, often up to two days ahead of your regular payday. There’s no need to sign up, opt in, or take any extra steps; it just works automatically.

How Does Early Pay Work?

Our Early Pay feature is triggered as soon as Georgia Heritage Federal Credit Union receives notice from the originating institution about your upcoming deposit. Typically, this notification comes in before your actual scheduled payday, which allows us to credit your account sooner. You can think of it as a sneak peek at payday that helps you stay ahead of your finances.

It’s important to note that Early Pay depends on us receiving the file from the paying institution. While we strive to make your funds available early, we cannot guarantee the availability of deposits until they arrive at our system. If there is any delay from the payer’s side, your funds will still be deposited, just as they would without Early Pay.

How Much Does Early Pay Cost?

Absolutely nothing. Early Pay is a complimentary service for all of our members. We believe that you should have fast access to your money, without fees or additional costs. It’s our way of making sure you have more control over your finances.

Why Is Early Pay Beneficial?

Early Pay offers several advantages that can help make budgeting easier and reduce financial stress:

Pay Bills on Time or Early: Early access to your direct deposit means you have more flexibility to pay bills ahead of schedule, helping you avoid late fees and penalties.

More Financial Control: With Early Pay, you can start planning your expenses and managing your money sooner, making it easier to stay on track with your financial goals.

Less Stress, More Convenience: There’s no need to worry about waiting until payday, and no need to deal with additional paperwork or fees. Early Pay is automatic and free for every Georgia Heritage member.
