Get paid early with Early Bird Direct Deposit

Your direct deposit is available when Pelican receives it — not when your employer releases it. 
 

Pelican offers all of our checking and savings accountholders the ability to receive their direct deposits up to one day early. This means your funds may be made available one day before your scheduled deposit date. 

How it works

The Fast Track to Payday

Pelican may receive ACH details before scheduled deposit date; — meaning you often have access to your funds one day early.  Early posting is not guaranteed. Some deposits arrive just in time; others arrive early.
