GET PAID UP TO 2 DAYS EARLY WITH DIRECT DEPOSIT

Members who elect to have their paychecks direct deposited at GE Credit Union may receive their pay up to two days earlier than at the average bank. Most financial institutions that distribute direct deposit payroll receive the funds in advance of payday to ensure that the money is available when needed. Most banks hold on to this money until pay day, even if the money has already been verified a couple days beforehand. But GE Credit Union releases the funds to you, our members, as soon as the money is verified. This means that you could get paid up to two days early!

Please note that if your employer does not deposit funds in advance, you will get paid on the scheduled pay day.

A note for existing members: Your 13 digit account number is required for all electronic transactions. To obtain that information, please call us at 800.992.8472.

How does it work?

It’s easy. Whenever you overdraw your checking account, we’ll cover your checks, ACH payments, and even Debit Card and ATM transactions. You’ve just got to Opt In and let us know that’s what you want.

The benefits?

  • Avoid high fees from merchants for returned checks
  • Avoid embarrassing credit card declines
  • Have peace of mind and flexibility

Each time you use Overdraft Privilege, a low $35 fee will be incurred for each paid overdraft item.

Overdraft Lines of Credit

Peace of mind is a beautiful thing. GE Credit Union can give you yours with an Overdraft Line of Credit.

Overdraft Lines of Credit are funds that will automatically cover whatever you overdraw from your checking account. And, the interest you pay is typically less than an Overdraft Privilege fee.

  • Easy, online application
  • Flexible borrowing
  • Instant approvals
  • Pay back only what you borrow—not the approved amount
  • Conveniently access your Line of Credit through Online Banker, checks, or at the ATMs.
