*Neighborhood Credit Union may give early access to direct deposit funds from your employer, payments and credits into your account, or government deposits and payments depending on when the deposit or payment file is submitted to Neighborhood CU. Weekends or bank holidays may affect the posting date. As a result, the availability or timing of early direct deposit may vary from pay period to pay period.
