ŦEarly Pay is a free service made available on eligible checking accounts enrolled in direct deposit. Early Pay grants you access to your eligible direct deposit  payments up to two days prior to the scheduled payment date. Early availability is based on the timing of the payer’s payment instruction and standard fraud prevention restrictions apply. Early access to direct deposit will not occur on weekends or holidays and is based on when the originator provides payment details. If originator does not send the deposit in a timely manner, your deposit will arrive on the original scheduled date. 

**Transactions typically occur in minutes when the recipient’s email address or U.S. mobile number is already enrolled with Zelle®. Must have a bank account in the U.S. to use Zelle®. In order to send payment requests or split payment requests to a U.S. mobile number, the mobile number must already be enrolled with Zelle®. Scheduled or recurring payments sent directly to your recipient’s account number (instead of an email address or mobile number) are made available by Northwest Bank but are a separate service from Zelle® and can take 1–3 business days to process. Zelle® and the Zelle®-related marks are wholly owned by Early Warning Services, LLC and are used herein under license. Mobile data or text charges may apply.
