Why isn't my direct deposit coming in early?
There are a few reasons we may not be able to process your direct deposit early:
- Your deposit type isn't eligible (like a transfer between bank accounts or a deposit that's not from a qualifying employer, business, or government program).
- Your payment provider doesn't submit your deposit early. Sunward posts deposits as they are received. If your direct deposit is not posted in your account, your payment provider has not sent the funds yet.
Will funds from my direct deposit always arrive early?
No. Early availability is not guaranteed and may vary from deposit to deposit - including those from the same sender.
