What Bank of America says, verbatim
Electronic direct deposits made through the automated clearing house (ACH), real-time payment networks, and incoming wire transfers are generally available to you on the business day we receive your deposit.
bankofamerica.com, read October 28, 2026. Applies to: None. Bank of America publishes no early direct deposit feature for any consumer account; its Deposit Agreement (effective May 15, 2026) states ACH direct deposits are available on the business day received, and its direct deposit marketing promises 'same-day access'.
Its general early-deposit wording: "Skip trips to the bank with direct deposit. Get same-day access to your paycheck or recurring deposits, and receive alerts when your money arrives." (source).
Access note: Military FAQ and overview pages are JS-heavy (WebFetch returned only the title) but curl of the raw HTML yielded the FAQ text quoted above; no 'early' wording appears in it. Deposit Agreement PDF (Effective May 15, 2026) read via pdftotext. Domain-restricted searches for 'early direct deposit' / 'get paid early' on bankofamerica.com returned nothing. No 2026 military pay calendar.
