[4] FourLeaf’s early direct deposit is a service provided by Fourleaf where we may credit your eligible consumer deposit account (non IRA) up to two business days early for an eligible direct deposit. This service is not guaranteed and FourLeaf cannot guarantee you will receive early direct deposit at consistent intervals. Not all direct deposits are eligible and eligibility is determined at FourLeaf’s discretion as only certain recurring deposits may qualify. Qualifying direct deposits are certain ACH credit transactions such as payroll or similar transactions. FourLeaf does not guarantee that any direct deposit 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.
