One benefit of being a Navy Federal Credit Union member is having funds made available early. Find the standard military pay dates and Navy Federal pay dates below.
Military Pay Dates
The military pays on the 1st and 15th of every month. Everyone knows that! But what if the actual military pay date lands on the weekend or a holiday?
Navy Federal Credit Union deposits funds early for their members. This will depend on the type of checking account that you have. An Active Duty Checking account will receive funds earlier than other checking accounts.
The type of checking account is based on what account your direct deposit goes into. Funds are typically available the day before the military pay date.
