Other financial discussions

I updated my dd info last Wednesday, the first day available to do so. It was accepted . Still no date. Its now Friday the 24th and no direct deposit was made. I used my checking act not a pre paid card. My friend did the same thing, was then told she would be mailed a check. And her check is supposed to come today in the mail. Now I wish they would have just mailed me a check. Me and her have similar income levels as well
