Direct Deposit & Express Pay

Direct deposit is an automatic electronic deposit of your paycheck into your account. Not only will you have fast, secure access to your funds—you’ll also lower your risk of ID theft and mail fraud. And, you’ll have a suite of digital tools that simplify managing your money.

Enjoy access to Express Pay! If you have a Community Choice 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.*
