Tower Federal Credit Union military pay dates 2026
What Tower Federal Credit Union itself says on towerfcu.org, read October 28, 2026. DFAS dates from the official 2026 table.
Tower Federal Credit Union publishes no 2026 military pay calendar, and its early-deposit feature names eligible deposits on Tower checking with direct deposit. No deposit types are listed rather than DFAS or military pay. Whether your pay qualifies is not stated on towerfcu.org, so treat the earliest dates below as the best case under its wording, and set autopay to the DFAS date.
Remaining 2026 paydays and the earliest they could post
| DFAS payday | Earliest under "up to a day early" | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Friday, October 30, 2026 | Thursday, October 29, 2026 | Pay for the second half of October |
| Friday, November 13, 2026 | Thursday, November 12, 2026 | Pay for the first half of November |

| Thursday, December 31, 2026 | Wednesday, December 30, 2026 | Pay for the second half of December |
"Earliest" counts days back from the DFAS date and skips weekends and federal holidays (Veterans Day, Thanksgiving). It is the best case under Tower Federal Credit Union's own wording, which says the timing depends on when the payer sends the file. November has one DFAS payday (the 13th); the October 30 deposit covers the first half of November.
