No. Early access to your direct deposit money is automatically a potential benefit of your Walmart MoneyCard if you are signed up for direct deposit. Early availability depends on timing of payor’s payment instructions and fraud prevention restrictions may apply. As such, the availability or timing of early direct deposit may vary from pay period to pay period. Make sure the name and social security number on file with your employer or benefits provider matches what’s on your Walmart MoneyCard account exactly. We will not be able to deposit your payment if we are unable to match recipients.
Payroll, government benefits and child support are the only deposits that qualify for early access to your money.
When you set up direct deposit,you may be eligible to receive your pay up to 2 days earlier, or government benefits up to 4 days before benefits day (subject to deposit verification and depending on your payment provider’s process and timing).
Some employers and benefits providers send payment instructions ahead of the actual payday. If they do, we’ll credit the amount to your card when we receive payment instructions (instead of waiting for the actual payday) so you can enjoy your money sooner. However, it’s important to note that if and how early your deposit can be posted to your account is completely dependent on when the employer or benefits provider sends us the payment instructions.
We deposit your payroll or government benefits to your Walmart MoneyCard account, including:
Social Security benefits
SSI (Supplemental Security Income)
Pension payments
Railroad Retirement Benefits (RRB)
Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) payments
State unemployment benefits
Government Disability Benefits (SSDI or Workers' Compensation)
Veterans' benefits

Note: Your payor will usually provide a payment stub or notice to let you know the amount of the payment deposited to your account.

The exact time of day that your paycheck or benefit payment is deposited onto your card will usually vary from payday to payday. If you haven’t received a direct deposit that you are expecting, it’s because we haven’t received the payment instructions from your employer or benefits provider.
If you are concerned about the status of your direct deposit, please follow these steps:
NOTE: If you recently reported your card lost or stolen, please be sure to tell the Walmart MoneyCard Customer Support Specialist when you call.
If you enrolled in direct deposit for federal benefits, you should contact the agency that administers your benefit.

TIP: Ask your payroll, how long it’ll take them to set up your direct deposit. If it takes longer than expected to receive your first direct deposit on your card, check back with your payroll or benefits office. Walmart MoneyCard does not have any information about your enrollment status. Early direct deposit depends on deposit verification.

Many times, your employer or benefits provider will notify our bank of your incoming deposit in advance of your actual pay day. If they do, we will credit your pay or benefits to your card when they give us that advance notice instead of waiting for pay day. However, the exact time of day that your paycheck or benefit payment is deposited onto your card will usually vary from payday to payday because employers and benefits providers often send payment instructions at different times from pay period to pay period. If you don’t get it as early as you did the previous pay period, it doesn’t mean there’s something wrong or that we’re holding on to it. It just means we haven’t received it yet.

If you enrolled in direct deposit for federal benefits, you should contact the agency that administers your benefit.
Setting up direct deposit is easy! Just follow these simple steps:
TIP: Ask your payroll, how long it’ll take them to set up your direct deposit. If it takes longer than expected to receive your first direct deposit on your card, check back with your payroll or benefits office. Walmart MoneyCard does not have any information about your enrollment status. Early direct deposit depends on deposit verification.

Many times, your employer or benefits provider will notify our bank of your incoming deposit in advance of your actual pay day. If they do, we will credit your pay or benefits to your card when they give us that advance notice instead of waiting for pay day. However, the exact time of day that your paycheck or benefit payment is deposited onto your card will usually vary from payday to payday because employers and benefits providers often send payment instructions at different times from pay period to pay period. If you don’t get it as early as you did the previous pay period, it doesn’t mean there’s something wrong or that we’re holding on to it. It just means we haven’t received it yet.
If you log in to your account and set up the direct deposit Account Alert, we’ll automatically notify you any time a direct deposit is received. Carrier message and data rates apply.
