Premium Summer Pay

We’ve all heard the saying, “Pay yourself first.” For educators, that starts by opening a Premium Summer Pay account.¹ Saving a portion of every paycheck during the school year through Direct Deposit can help you save for the summer months, whether you're a 10- or 12- month employee. View our Premium Summer Pay rates and start saving today.

How Premium Summer Pay works

In the summer, your money is automatically transferred to your Educational Systems FCU regular Savings or Checking account, or to an account at another financial institution. The transfers occur by the first and third Friday of July and August in four equal proportions.² The dates for the summer automatic distributions in 2023 include:

• July 7
• July 21
• August 4
• August 18

If you need access to your money on other dates, transfers can be made starting on July 1 through Digital Banking, Audio Response Teller (ART) or by speaking to a Credit Union employee.
