Good to know
Your Purple account works just like a standard checking account for direct deposits.
Government benefits like SSI or SSDI may arrive up to 4 days early¹.
Paychecks and other deposits may arrive up to 2 days early¹.
Direct deposit setup timing depends on your payer—it can take 1–2 pay cycles for the change to take effect.
Purple is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services are provided by OMB Bank, Member FDIC. The Purple Mastercard® Debit Card is issued by OMB Bank, Member FDIC, pursuant to license from Mastercard.
¹ Early access is not guaranteed and depends on payer timing. We generally make funds available on the day we receive the payment file, which may be up to 4 days early for government benefits like SSI or SSDI, and up to 2 days early for other deposits. Early access is available at no additional cost.
