Everybody! Even if your employer isn’t enrolled in Payactiv, you can apply for the Payactiv card and receive your paycheck up to 2 days early and use our savings tools, get exclusive discounts, and 1:1 financial counseling.
If you have Payactiv from work, you will see hours worked and your current earnings in the app and you can transfer the accessible amount to your bank, card or get as cash.
Every pay period, you can access a portion of what you’ve already earned, up to 50%, and transfer to your card or bank account, or pick up cash from a Walmart Money Center. The maximum accessible amount is determined by employer settings.
Payactiv is free to use if you direct deposit your paycheck to the Payactiv card. For everyone else, there’s a program fee of $1 on the day you use bank transfer, card load, cash access, Bill Pay, Uber, or Amazon. It covers all transactions until midnight Pacific Time that day. This fee is capped at $5 per pay period, even if you use Payactiv more than 5 days in a pay period.
Processing Fees: There’s a $1.99 processing fee for cash pickup at Walmart stores and instant deposit to cards other than the Payactiv card.
Free Services: Viewing your accessible balance and using Rx Discounts, Financial Counseling, and Savings features are free to use anytime for all users.
Payactiv uses time and attendance data to provide earned wage access to employees. It works with existing systems and there’s no cost to the business in offering Payactiv services as an employee benefit.
There are no setup or recurring costs to the business. Even if an employee discontinues their employment, there is Zero Risk to employers, as Payactiv protects employers against financial losses associated with our service.
Employers or designated payroll providers process payroll. Services within the Payactiv financial wellness program are independent of payroll and associated taxes.
Once an employer agrees to offer Payactiv as an employee benefit, the service can go live within 48 hours. We provide on-site implementation and training where required.
Setting up direct deposit is the best way to get access to some of Payactiv’s most popular features. You can set up direct deposit in the following ways:

When your card arrives in the mail, it will be attached to a card carrier with a direct deposit slip attached at the bottom. The direct deposit slip will have the routing number and your account number already printed on it.
Select the amount of your paycheck that you want to deposit
Sign and date the form
Detach the form and give it to your payroll department for processing
You may check your card balance at any time by using the PayActiv mobile app, website (payactiv.com), or by calling our customer service at (877) 747-5862.
The main difference is that the payroll card is issued through employers to disburse employees’ paychecks while the prepaid card is available directly to consumers via our website. The functionality of the cards is essentially the same.
