Subject to eligibility; use of the card is governed by the DasherDirect Cardholder Agreement and Payfare Program Terms. Payouts from deliveries initiated after each dash; funds are typically available within an hour pending any delays. Reward categories and amounts subject to change without notice. No-fee transfers and no-fee and low-fee ATM withdrawals available.

Ratings and reviews

The service itself is fantastic, but I am rating the app. I have to go from five stars to one star for one singular reason. It never stops with the two Factor authentication. Every time you log in you have to get a text message unless you're on your home Wi-Fi. None of my credit cards, bank accounts, or even my health providers require such non-stop authentication. Annoying.

I'm a dasher and I was skeptical of using this instead of getting a direct deposit? But it's worked great so far, and it had a good amount of free atms to take cash out. The only thing it is missing and able to send money to another bank account via zelle or another option. But other than that, it works like just any other debit card, and it tracks alot of things for you to!

It's very easy to use, streamlined, and is the fastest way to get your DoorDash pay and also receive rewards. If you'd like to save the money you earn, you can also put the money, or some of it, into a Goal savings. The app also has alot of wellness packages available that are worthwhile to utilize. Overall, it's pretty awesome how much the app has within it, yet it is very simple to use and navigate - it's kinda like the DoorDash driving app in an "aesthetics meets pragmatics" kind of way.
