Why stand in line to deposit your paycheck? Save your time and send your paycheck directly to your credit union checking account on payday. It's safe, easy and guaranteed. Other recurring checks are eligible for direct deposit, too … Social Security, state retirement checks and more. Contact a Member Service Representative to set up your direct deposit 1-800-264-8031.

At AlaTrust Credit Union, we understand the importance of timely access to your funds. That's why we're excited to introduce our Early Pay service, allowing you to receive your qualifying direct deposits up to two days ahead of schedule.

What is Early Pay?

Early Pay is a complimentary service that grants you access to your funds from your payroll's direct deposits sooner than the scheduled payment date. For instance, if your regular payday is Friday, with Early Pay, you could see your funds deposited as early as Wednesday.

How Does Early Pay Work?

Once AlaTrust Credit Union receives notification of an incoming direct deposit, we process and credit the funds to your account immediately—often up to two days before the standard payday.

Key Features:

  • Automatic Enrollment: No enrollment necessary. As soon as the payroll file is received it will be posted.
  • No Additional Fees: Early Pay is a free service provided to enhance your banking experience.
  • Convenient Access: Monitor your account through our online banking platform or mobile app to see when your funds are available.

To establish direct deposit, simply provide your employer with AlaTrust Credit Union's routing number and your account number and you're ready to go! 

If you need assistance, our member services team is ready to help. Give us a call, stop in a local branch, or book an appointment for assistance.

*Early Pay is dependent upon the timing of the payer's payment instructions. AlaTrust Credit Union cannot guarantee early availability of all direct deposits.

Credit unions are comprised of people helping people – they have an interest in supporting and advancing their communities. Why? Because credit unions report to their members and not to shareholders. Credit unions give back earnings to members. Their profits are reinvested in you to offer rates and personalized service that a typical bank may not be able to provide.

When you join a credit union, you can enjoy:

  • High level of personalized service
  • Low-interest rates on loans
  • High savings rates
  • Easier accessibility of loans
  • Easy access to your money through 30,000 ATMs nationwide
  • Peace of mind that NCUA insures deposits up to $250,000
  • A financial institution that's involved in YOUR community
