TD Early Pay FAQs

TD Early Pay may make eligible direct deposit funds available in your account as soon as we receive the deposit information from the payer—up to two business days early. 

TD Early Pay comes standard on all eligible TD checking and savings accounts. If you're already signed up for Direct Deposit, then you're all set.

Because delivery of your direct deposit depends on when we receive the deposit information from the payer, you may receive your direct deposit 2 days earlier, 1 day earlier or on your regularly scheduled payday. Delivery may also vary from one deposit to the next. Here are some reasons you may not receive your pay early:

  • Your deposit isn’t sent earlier by your employer or payer
  • Your deposit type isn't eligible, such as a bank-to-bank transfer
  • There’s a payroll system issue from your payer
  • Other limitations we set on the account including standard fraud prevention

There is no additional cost for TD Early Pay. 

TD Early Pay is available on all TD personal checking and savings accounts.

1For certain eligible direct deposits, we may make funds available for your use up to two business days before we receive the funds from your payor with our service, TD Early Pay. There is no enrollment necessary and no fee for this service. Not all direct deposits are eligible for TD Early Pay. Eligible direct deposits are limited to electronic direct deposits such as your payroll, pension, and government benefit payments. Other deposits or credits to your account, such as deposits of funds from person-to-person payments services (e.g., Zelle®), check or mobile deposits, and other online transfers are not eligible for TD Early Pay. The Bank does not guarantee that any direct deposits will be made available before the date scheduled by the payor, and early availability of funds may vary between direct deposits from the same payor.

When funds are made available early, they will be reflected in your account’s available balance. Whether we make funds available early depends on (1) when we receive the payor’s payment instructions, (2) any limitations we set on the amount and frequency of early availability, and (3) standard fraud prevention screening.

If a direct deposit is not made available early, it will be made available in accordance with our Availability of Funds Policy described in the Personal Deposit Account Agreement (PDAA). Except as expressly set forth in the PDAA, funds made available early are subject to the same terms and conditions as other deposits to your account. If we’ve made funds available early and the payor reverses or requests a return of the deposit, or the funds are otherwise uncollected by the Bank, you understand and agree that we may debit your account in accordance with our normal process found in subpart e) Direct Deposits, found in the PDAA, up to the amount of the deposit that was previously made available – even if you have already  withdrawn the funds or it creates an overdraft on your account, without prior notice from us and at any time. In this instance, you are responsible for any fees assessed – including those charged by merchants or third parties – as a result of the overdraft. TD Early Pay is offered at the discretion of the Bank, and we reserve the right to cancel the service at any time and without notice to you.

2TD receives the information for your direct deposit at various times throughout the day. Based on the time we receive it and circumstances beyond our control, we may not be able to alert you.
