“We want to make sure all of our customers have fast access to their liquidity, regardless of where they work,” said Tim Spence, president of Fifth Third Bank. “You should have the same banking services regardless of whether you file a 1099, a W2 or are retired. This is Fifth Third’s latest offering in a comprehensive suite of products and services focused on continued innovative solutions.”
Customers with a Fifth Third Momentum® Checking account can automatically get their paycheck faster; up to two days early (after one direct deposit).

- Immediate Funds – Ability to receive instant availability for check deposits (a small fee is incurred).
- Extra Time® – Additional time to make a deposit and avoid paying overdraft fees. You can make a deposit any time before midnight Eastern Time (ET) on the business day after your account was overdrawn—to bring your balance up to at least $0.
