Introducing Early Pay
When we saw people playing the payday waiting game, we found a way to make payday come early.
If you have a Huntington checking account with direct deposit, you could get your pay up to two days early. No cost. No catch.
If we receive your direct deposit information from your employer prior to payday, we will make your money available to you when we receive it, up to two days early. It’s that simple. No need to sign up. If you qualify, you will automatically receive your pay early††.

Answer: Depending on your employer, it could take up to 90 days to be enrolled in Early Pay after you set up a direct deposit. However, in some cases, it may happen sooner.
Answer: Employers don’t always submit their direct deposit information at the same time each pay period. For example, one pay period, they may submit it one day early, and the next they may submit it two days early. Unfortunately, we don’t have control over the timing. However, you can enroll in text alerts so you are notified when you receive your direct deposits early.
Answer: If you have a recurring direct deposit set up for at least 90 days but aren’t seeing your payment early, that could mean that your employer is not submitting your direct deposit information in advance of your payday. This service is completely dependent on direct deposit information being submitted early.
Answer: The direct deposit must be recurring. Salary, social security, pension, military payments, and VA benefits are all included.
