## **How Early Direct Deposit Works**

Here’s a little-known secret: when your employer submits payroll, that money often reaches the bank a day or two before you officially get paid. If you get paid on Friday, for example, traditional banks don’t allow you to access that money until that exact day. With [Cash App](https://money.com/pr/kae1dd2c5090?data-trk-company=cash-app-review&data-trk-imp=true&data-trk-pcu-type=direct_link&data-trk-pcu-uuid=kae1dd2c5090&encoded_id=&ap_referrer=https%253A%252F%252Fmoney.com%252Fhow-to-get-your-paycheck-faster-with-early-direct-deposit%252F), if your funds come through direct deposit on Wednesday, you can access them on Wednesday.

## **How to Set It Up in Cash App**
