While everyone in the military knows that paydays are on the 1st and 15th of every month, the actual payday doesn't always land on those dates because of weekends and holidays.
What many people are not aware of is the fact that if they have a bank account with USAA, their pay will be in the bank before payday.

In fact, USAA makes military pay available as soon as two days early as long as it receives needed information from the military in time.
