While everyone in the military knows that paydays are on the 1st and 15th of every month, the actual payday doesn't always land on those dates because of weekends and holidays.
While everyone in the military knows that paydays are on the 1st and 15th of every month, the actual payday doesn't always land on those dates because of weekends and holidays.
If you're like many of us, the money may run out before payday rolls around. Knowing exactly when your next paycheck will be deposited into your account is important when you have bills to pay, food to buy, and life's necessities to take care of.
What many people are not aware of is the fact that if they have an account with Navy Federal Credit Union, their pay will be in their account before payday.
In fact, sometimes your pay will be in the bank on Friday when the regular military payday is Monday.
These dates are for Navy Federal members who have Active Duty Checking accounts.
