All qualifications (total deposit amount, debit card, digital banking) must be met within the 25-days of the first qualifying direct deposit (“foundation period”). New checking only; can select Free Checking or High Yield Checking product. If a member has an existing savings account, and adds a checking, they can earn a bonus if they meet qualifications above. Direct deposits are payroll (including pension and social security).

qualified account number regardless of the number of individual members on the account. Promo may end at any time. Offer not valid for members with an existing checking account. All qualifying direct deposits will be totaled in the 25-day period and the total will determine the bonus.  Example: three qualifying direct deposits of $400 each within 25 days would qualify member for $100 bonus.  Bonus to be paid within the first 3 business days of the month following the foundation period end date, if qualified. A member may only qualify for one bonus tier and will not be eligible for future bonus payments if Direct Deposits subsequently increase after the foundation period.

**Early Pay Day offers an immediate credit of your direct deposit to your account up to two (2) days early depending first and foremost on timing of payer’s (example: employer’s) submission of deposits into our Automated Clearing House (ACH) database. Other factors affecting early pay day could be due to limitations we set on the amount of early availability and standard fraud prevention screening. Not all direct deposits are eligible for Early Pay Day. We recommend that you do not write checks or authorize any other withdrawals against your directly deposited funds until you verify that they have been posted to your account. Early availability of direct deposits is not guaranteed and may vary from deposit to deposit. Great Basin Federal Credit Union cannot assume any liability for not depositing these funds into your account early. ** Eligible direct deposits are limited to electronic direct deposits of your payroll, pension, and government benefit payments made through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. Other deposits or credits to your account, such as deposits of funds from person-to-person payment services (e.g., Zelle®, Venmo, or PayPal transfers), check or mobile deposits, and other online transfers or electronic credits are not eligible for Early Pay Day.
