Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
MyPayNow allows you to access your earned but unpaid wages between paychecks, one time each pay period. The money that you access is then debited from your ECSFCU Checking or eChecking account on your next payday, giving you the flexibility to pay for things on your own schedule.
How do I sign up?
Open an ECSFCU Checking or eChecking account if you don't have one already, and set up direct deposit from your school district employer, of at least the amount you might elect to access. $100 minimum direct deposit is required. Remember, if you will be electing to access the maximum of $1,000, you will need to direct deposit at least that amount each pay period to your Checking or eChecking.
Download the PayActiv App from the App Store or Google Play Store and create an account. All you need when creating an account is your name, phone number, employer name, your employee ID and your 14 digit ECSFCU Checking or eChecking account MICR # or the last 4 digits of your ECSFCU debit card. After creating your account, you will see the MyPayNow home screen.
You will be eligible to access your pay once you have completed at least one direct deposit to your ECSFCU account.
Where do I find my employee ID?
Check your pay stub or ask your supervisor.
How do I pay back funds?
Funds access using MyPayNow are debited from your ECSFCU Checking or eChecking account on payday.
I worked today. Why isn't the accessible amount showing?
It might be the first day or the last two days of your pay period. If not, this shouldn't happen. Please contact the PayActiv support team so we can assist you right away.
How long does it take to get Earned Wage Access funds?
MyPayNow accessed wages can be requested to your ECSFCU Checking or Checking account 24/7/365. Funds are transferred within 65 minutes.
What's the catch?
There is no catch! ECSFCU operates a "School Employee Benefit Business Model" and this is just one example of the difference we make for our East County school employees. After all, it's your money.
