736.0. "Why the change in post time on payroll DD's?" by TOOK::DELBALSO (I (spade) my (dog face)) Thu Jan 13 1994 15:55

Just read in another conference that the DCU has changed their policy of
posting payroll direct deposits from Late Tues/Early Wed to Thu AM.
   1) Is this correct?
   2) Why the change? What does this "buy" the DCU?

736.1About 3% but varies from day to daySSDEVO::RMCLEANThu Jan 13 1994 16:063
  Ok... The easy way to figure that out is to calculate the overnight fed
rate.  About 3% at the current time.  That is roughly your answer since
they get the money by wire transfer.

    Actually it was in your monthly statements for the last couple of
    months... And it's not buying the DCU anything.. it's buying Digital
    something... It was Digital who changed the "transfer" date not DCU.
    
    At least that's how *I* read it...
    
    Big deal... you get paid on Thursday just like everyone else... I
    considered it a convenience for the last couple of years getting paid a
    day early...

    The way I read it is that DCU was putting money in our accounts
    *before* the actually got it from Digital. Digital gives the DCU 
    the money the day after they give DCU the tape that says where it
    does and they were running it early.

    re: .3 
    
    I asked about this some years ago when I started having money direct
    deposited into DCU because I was surprised that the money hit DCU
    before the balance hit Baybank. The response at the time was that it's
    not considered a real direct deposit the way it is when your check goes
    to, say Baybank. It's handled by Digital as a payroll deduction and is
    (was) processed Tuesday nights because that's when the payroll checks
    are created. Now, apparently, Digital is handling it just like real
    direct deposits and holding the money for one more day.
