Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get paid early?

By setting up for direct deposit through any of our checking accounts you can receive the deposit early. One thing to keep in mind is that early direct deposits depend on timing. Your payer must provide payment details on time so the deposit can process early. If your deposit doesn't arrive to us early, expect it to arrive on your scheduled payday.

How can I bank with you?

Although we have convenient locations available for service, you can use one of over 55,000 surcharge-free AllPoint Network ATMs and over 5,000 credit union shared branches nationwide. You can make deposits and withdrawals free of charge when you’re our member. Finex also has a variety of Mobile Banking functions, so we really can be wherever you are.

What if I had credit issues in the past?

If you have had an unfortunate experience with a checking account or credit issues in the past, we may be able to help. We are here to help you rebuild your banking journey through our Second Chance Checking Account. If you have questions feel free to contact us.
