In the United States, almost all funds transferred between banks are sent via an automated clearing house (ACH). Therefore, during a holiday, the money you expect may arrive about a day later than expected.
The main reason for this is simple. ACH does not work on weekends and public holidays. This applies to all deposits that use ACH. This includes pay slips for most employers, unemployment or disability allowances, and deposits initiated into the app from your third-party bank. Considering this, get your answer on does Netspend deposits on Saturday as you read this guide.

Does Netspend Deposit On Saturday?
No, Netspend does not deposit on Saturdays. Direct deposits are typically processed on weekdays, Monday through Friday. If your direct deposit is scheduled to be deposited on a Saturday, it will be processed on the next business day, which is Monday.
Here is a table of when Netspend typically processes direct deposits:
| Day of the Week | Deposit Processing Time |
|---|---|
| Monday | 12:00 AM EST |
| Tuesday | 12:00 AM EST |
| Wednesday | 12:00 AM EST |
| Thursday | 12:00 AM EST |
| Friday | 12:00 AM EST |
| Saturday | N/A |
| Sunday | N/A |
Please note that these are just general guidelines and the actual processing time may vary depending on the payer. If you have any questions about when your direct deposit will be processed, you should contact your employer or benefits provider.
What Happens if Payday Falls on A Bank Holiday
If your payday falls on a bank holiday, your employer will typically pay you the day before the holiday. For example, if your payday is normally on Friday, but there is a bank holiday on Friday, your employer will pay you on Thursday. This is because banks are closed on bank holidays, and they cannot process direct deposits or issue paychecks.
If your employer does not pay you the day before the bank holiday, they may be breaking the law. In the United States, federal law requires employers to pay their employees on time, even if payday falls on a holiday.
If you are not sure when you will be paid if payday falls on a bank holiday, you should contact your employer.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
- If you are paid by check, your check may not be available to you until the bank opens on the next business day.
- If you are paid by direct deposit, your funds may not be available to you until the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network processes the deposit, which can take up to 2 business days.
- If you have any bills that are due on payday, you may need to make arrangements to pay them early or late.

Conclusion
Netspend is unique in the sense that it allows users to get the Netspend card without having a bank account. This allows Netspend to make deposits on Saturday but with traditional banks, if Saturday is payday, employees may not be able to access payments until Monday.
