TIP: Ask your payroll or benefits provider how long it will take to receive your first direct deposit on your card. If you do not receive your direct deposit when expected, follow-up with your provider for an update. Green Dot does not have any information about your enrollment status. Direct deposit early availability depends on timing of payor’s payment instructions and fraud prevention restrictions may apply. As such, the availability or timing of early direct deposit may vary from pay period to pay period.
