Friday paydays that aren't near a holiday are super-simple, even if your bank or credit union offers early direct deposit. The day of your 15 September 2017 military pay deposit should be pretty easy to work out.

Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU) has two different pay deposit schedules, depending on which type of checking account you use for your military pay deposit. Only Active Duty Checking accounts receive early crediting of military pay, always pending the receipt of military pay information from the appropriate agency.
NFCU members who use an Active Duty Checking account will see their pay pending on or before Wednesday, 13 September 2017, to be credited overnight and available for use on Thursday, 14 September 2017.
NFCU members who use any other account type, including Everyday Checking, Campus Checking, eChecking, and Flagship Checking, will see their pay pending on or before Thursday, 14 September 2017, to be credited overnight and available for use on Friday, 15 September 2017.
Not sure which type of NFCU account you use? You can look at your online account access, give them a call, or stop by a branch. Those are also the three ways to change account types if you would like to do that - it's easy.
We have a series of paydays coming every two weeks. Take advantage of this time to build a little buffer in your account for when those longer pay periods come along. You'll be glad you did.
