There are a variety of reasons a direct deposit might not make it into your account: closed account, frozen status due to potential fraud or legal action, typo by your employer, etc. When we receive a direct deposit, it'll be reflected in your Transaction History. With a Current Account, we'll release your funds as soon as we receive your direct deposit. If you don't see the deposit reflected in your account, then we haven't received it from your employer or provider yet. What time your direct deposit hits depends on the financial institution. Most recipients can expect their direct deposits to be available by 9 a.m. on payday, with many banks allowing funds to be released between midnight and 6 a.m. If your bank allows for the funds to be released sooner, you'll see them then.Why am I not getting paid through direct deposit?

How late can a direct deposit hit?
The first thing to do if there is an issue with your paycheck (or if you didn't get one at all) is to talk to your manager, payroll department, or human resources department. It could be an error or a miscommunication, and they should be able to advise you on what the problem is and when you can expect to get paid.
The Direct Deposit Timeline
The exact timeline for direct deposit can vary depending on several factors, including your employer's payroll processing practices, the financial institutions involved, and even the day of the week. Typically, the processing time can range from one to three business days.
Direct deposit does not process on bank holidays. If payday falls on a bank holiday, employees will not receive their direct deposit. Employees' direct deposits are delayed a day when payday falls on a bank holiday.
If you notice a problem with a deposit, contact the bank immediately and find out what happened to fix the issue. Your account agreement will inform you of how long you have to notify the bank about errors.
You can check to see if a direct deposit is pending or has posted by signing in to your bank's mobile app or website. For paychecks and other employee payments, your human resource department should be able to provide information about a direct deposit's status.
According to California Labor Code 210, employers who fail to pay workers on time are subject to financial penalties. Penalties are extra fines that California imposes on your employer for violating your rights as an employee. They aim to deter your employer from illegally withholding wages in the future.
If your direct deposit hasn't hit in one to three days, check with your bank. It could be that there is a hold on your account or your account is new or overdrawn, or that the sum is large enough to warrant additional review.
It depends. You should contact the bank and provide any details about the deposit, including a copy of the deposit receipt. However, the bank may not accept the deposit receipt as conclusive evidence that you deposited the funds in the amount shown on the receipt.
Here are some reasons why you might not receive your deposit early: Your deposit isn't sent earlier by your payer. Your deposit type is not eligible, such as a bank-to-bank transfer. There's a payroll system issue from your payer.
Reasons your check deposit might be delayed
Some reasons a financial institution may extend a check's hold include: There's reasonable cause to believe the funds are uncollectible (such as suspected fraud). The check has been redeposited. The check amount exceeds $5,525.
Banks are required to make direct-deposit funds available for withdrawal not later than the business day after the banking day on which the bank received the electronic payment. For instance, funds direct deposited on a regular, non-holiday Monday would be available by Tuesday.
Reasons your direct deposit hasn't hit
That said, if you haven't received your direct deposit, it could be for several reasons: Your employer entered an incorrect date when processing your payroll. Processing is taking longer than usual due to holidays (payday falling on a bank holiday often delays direct deposits).
Direct deposit is usually processed before 9 am on your scheduled payday. If a payday falls on a weekend or holiday, the deposit may be delayed to the next business day, or your employer may schedule it so it occurs early.
Your bank may hold the funds according to its funds availability policy. Or it may have placed an exception hold on the deposit. If the bank has placed a hold on the deposit, the bank generally should provide you with written notice of the hold.
Here's what to do if your direct deposit is late:
Contacting your employer. Call or email your payroll department or the department at which you first enrolled in direct deposit. This is a good time to let them know you haven't received payment.
Usually, you'll receive your direct deposit by 9 a.m. on your payday — and sometimes even earlier. But banks may wait up to a business day to release your funds. Editorial Note: Intuit Credit Karma receives compensation from third-party advertisers, but that doesn't affect our editors' opinions.
A bank may hold a check longer if it's an unusual deposit, such as if you've never deposited a check from that payer before. A check may take also longer to clear if it's for a larger amount or is from an international bank. Checks from foreign banks usually require longer hold times because they take longer to verify.
Simply log onto your bank account profile and look at your checking account or savings account history. Depending on when payment was sent, your money could come up as pending direct deposit in either one of these accounts. Go into your bank account history to check the status of your money.
The Federal Reserve has set baseline rules for check deposits: The first $225 must be available the next business day, while amounts from $226 to $5,525 must be available within two business days after the deposit, and amounts of over $5,525 generally should be accessible on the seventh business day.
It normally takes 1-3 days for direct deposits to clear. The actual transfer of funds is almost instantaneous, but it can take a few days for your bank to verify the funds and make them available to you. Weekends and public holidays can slow this process down, as can a range of other factors.
