GET YOUR PAY UP TO 2 DAYS FASTER WITH ASAP DIRECT DEPOSIT™ Direct Deposit early availability depends on timing of payor’s payment instructions and fraud prevention restrictions may apply. As such, the availability or timing of early direct deposit may vary from pay period to pay period. Make sure the name and social security number on file with your employer or benefits provider matches what’s on your GoBank account exactly. We will not be able to deposit your payment if we are unable to match recipients.

Fees may apply. MOBILE DEPOSITS Our nearest bank branch is in your pocket. Use your phone to scan a check and deposit it into your account. You may be asked to upload your ID.
