A Fingercheck PayCard is an easy and convenient way for employees to access their paycheck without having a bank account. The Fingercheck PayCard is a Mastercard debit card. Every time the employee gets paid, their pay is loaded onto their PayCard. They can use it immediately anywhere Mastercard debit cards are accepted and at all ATMs.
As an administrator, you can request a PayCard while onboarding an employee. Alternatively, during the self-onboarding process, new employees will see an option to request a PayCard. Existing employees can request one from their Fingercheck account.
If an existing employee requests a PayCard and has not self-onboarded (and doesn’t have an app.fingercheck.com account), you can add a PayCard to their profile.
Important: If you have any issues with the PayCard, please contact Rapid! directly to answer your questions.

FAQs
How do I contact Rapid!?
Phone: (877)380-0980
How can I see which of my employees have a PayCard?
You can see a list of all your employees who have a PayCard by logging into your Rapid! account.
When will employees receive their paycheck on their PayCard?
Your employees’ pay will typically be available by 10:00 a.m. ET in the morning on their check date.
How can employees check their balance?
Employees can check their balance anytime by calling (877) 380-0980 or by visiting www.rapidfs.com.
What happens if my employee loses their PayCard? What should I do?
Most importantly, tell the employees their money is protected with the Networks Zero Fraud Liability Policy. Have the employee call (877) 380-0980 to report the card lost/stolen and request a new card. If you have PayCards on hand, you can give them a new card, call (877) 380-0980 (press 0), and tell the representative this is a replacement card. Remember to update the card information on the employee’s Direct Deposit screen in Fingercheck.
What is the difference between the personalized PayCard and the instant issue Payroll Debit Card?
The first card the employee receives is the instant-issue Payroll Debit Card. It has a Mastercard or Visa brand mark, but it does not have the employee’s name embossed on it. When they call Customer Support at (877) 380-0980 to activate their card, they can request an upgrade to a personalized card with their name embossed on it at no additional cost. When the personalized PayCard arrives in the mail (7-10 business days) the instant issue card remains fully usable until they activate the new personalized card.
