Direct Deposit ensures your income goes directly to your Checking Account or Share Account quickly and easily. Save yourself a trip to the branch and eliminate the wait for checks in the mail or the worry of carrying your check with you. You can set your pay and walk away.
A variety of income payments can be directly deposited:
- Payroll (check with your employer)
- Social Security
- Railroad Retirement
- Disability Benefits
- U.S. Military Forces Retirement
- Civil Service Retirement
- Supplemental Security Income
- Veterans Administration Compensation

Get paid a day early
Don't wait for payday. When you enroll in Direct Deposit with LGFCU, your funds could be available up to one day early based on when we receive deposit information. LGFCU Checking, CashPoints® Global, Share, and Money Market Share accounts that receive direct deposits are automatically included in this service.
Early Direct Deposit does not change the effective date of your deposit or dividend calculations and does not change scheduled funds transfer dates. Early Direct Deposit is not guaranteed.
