A Fingercheck PayCard is a hassle-free and convenient solution for accessing your paycheck without needing a bank account. Every time you get paid, the funds can be loaded onto your PayCard, which is a Mastercard debit card.

The best part? You can use the PayCard, or Payroll Debit Card, anywhere that accepts Mastercard debit cards, including ATMs! Enjoy the flexibility and convenience of the PayCard for all your financial needs.

To request one on your mobile app, click here.


When should I get a PayCard?

With the Fingercheck PayCard, you're in control of your finances! You get to choose how much to load onto your card. Whether you want to load some or all of your paycheck onto your PayCard, the decision is entirely yours.

Alternatively, if you prefer the flexibility of Pay On-Demand, you can choose to load your PayCard only when you receive Pay On-Demand.

Additional benefits of having the PayCard:

  • You don’t need to open a bank account to benefit from the direct deposit feature

  • No agreements are necessary

  • Easy to track your balance

  • You can use the Pay Card to make personal online purchases

  • There is no fee to withdraw money from your account if you use one of the free ATMs

  • Free Customer Service

  • Spanish and English instructions are included in the Pay Card Envelope

Ready to get your hands on a PayCard? Simply ask your employer if they have a card on hand. If they already have a card available, you'll be able to receive one right away! However, if they don't have any available, we will promptly mail you a PayCard, and you can expect it to arrive within 7–10 business days.


Request a PayCard from the web

  1. Log in to Fingercheck.

  2. Click the MY ACCOUNT tab > Direct Deposit.

  3. Click Add > Request Pay Card.

    1. The Add PayCard pop-up window appears.

  4. Confirm that the address listed should be used to send your PayCard. If you want to have the PayCard sent to a different address, click Change shipping address.

    1. Enter the required information.

    2. Click Save.

  5. Enter the amount from your paycheck you would like to load on your PayCard.

    1. Percent (%): Select this option to specify a percentage of your pay to be added to the card each pay period. The remaining balance will be put into your paycheck or direct deposit.

    2. Flat ($): Select this option to specify a flat dollar amount to be added to the card each pay period. The remaining balance will be put into your paycheck or direct deposit.

  6. Click Request PayCard.

  7. Click OK in the Success pop-up window that appears.

    The pay card is added to your list of direct deposit accounts.

If you want to use your PayCard for Pay On-Demand only, then leave the paycheck amount fields blank.

Please note: if you add a PayCard to your already existing direct deposit setup, you will need to review the sequence.

Direct deposit sequence

If you elected to have a portion of your paycheck loaded onto your PayCard, you will want to review whether the sequence number listed is a lower number than the direct deposit for your net pay.

Update the Sequence by editing the direct deposit records. Choose 99 for your default direct deposit account, ensuring the remainder of your paycheck will be deposited into that account after all other accounts, such as your PayCard.

For example: Your $400 paycheck will have the first 50% loaded onto your PayCard and the remaining amount will be deposited into the checking account sequenced 99. Ensuring that no amount is remaining. You allocate what you want to your PayCard and the rest will go to your direct deposit account.


Enter your PayCard details in Fingercheck

You can re-add your Fingercheck PayCard at any time from your Employee Portal. All you need are the routing and account numbers that were included with the card when it was mailed to you.

  1. Log in to Fingercheck.

  2. Click the MY ACCOUNT tab > Direct Deposit.

  3. Click Add+ > Add Direct Deposit.

  4. Complete the required sections marked with “*” an asterisk.

  5. From the Calculation Type drop-down list, select one of the following options:

    1. Flat: Select this option to specify a flat dollar amount to be added to the card each pay period. The remaining balance will be put into your paycheck or direct deposit.

    2. Percent: Select this option to specify a percentage of your pay to be added to the card each pay period. The remaining balance will be put into your paycheck or direct deposit.

    3. RemainOnCheck: Select this option to specify the entire amount or the remainder of your paycheck that will be put on the pay card.

  6. In the Amount field, enter the amount or percentage of your paychecks that you want deposited to the pay card.
    For example, if you selected Percent in the previous field and you want to receive 50% of your pay on the pay card, enter 50. On payday, the pay card will have 50% of your pay, and you will receive a paycheck or direct deposit for the other 50%.

    1. If you want to use your PayCard for Pay On-Demand only, then leave the paycheck amount fields blank.

  7. Click Save.


Load your PayCard faster with Pay On-Demand

If you’re looking to load your PayCard when you request only Pay On-Demand, then leave the paycheck amount fields blank when adding the PayCard to your direct Deposit.

The PayCard allows you to receive your payment in as little as 15 minutes.
