Receive Military Pay Early with USAA
If you bank with USAA, you may be paid early. Typically, you may have access as early as one business day before your regular payday, but your experience may vary.
Sometimes you will receive your pay on a Friday when the regular military payday is Monday. However, the USAA official site does issue a caveat. “We try to deposit your funds one to two days before your payday, but it can vary based on when your employer or payer sends us your pay details.”
USAA Pay Dates 2024
USAA features “early access” to Direct Deposit. This feature is offered to all USAA members and the company, “will make funds available to you as payment information is provided to us by your employer or other payers, typically one to two days early.”

It is very important to remember that early access to pay isn’t always guaranteed. The USAA official site reminds customers, “Some employers or other payers may not always send payment notifications at the same time each pay cycle.” Your experience may vary depending on the payer, time of year, and other factors.
