Tammy needs to pay for a school trip by the 3rd of each month. What should she do to ensure timely payment?

• Sign up for direct deposit with her employer so that the money is already in her account the morning of the 1st

• Use her 15-minute break during work on the 1st of each month to run to the check cashing business; hopefully she doesn’t get delayed by long lines and return to work late, which will anger her boss

• Deposit the check through her mobile app on the 1st of the month and do a cash withdrawal from the ATM each month on the 2nd; hopefully the check clears in time to avoid fees

• Sign up for overdraft protection, withdraw the money from an ATM regardless of whether the funds are there in time, and just pay the $35 overdraft fee

• Your account would be closed
