Uber drivers that have not set up (or are not eligible for) Instant Pay will get paid weekly. However, those direct deposit payments sometimes take up to four days to hit drivers’ bank accounts. This means that they sometimes have to wait to be able to use earnings from 11 days prior. Alternatively, most drivers using major debit cards at popular banks or using an Uber Debit Card can receive payments right after they cash out and cash out up to five times a day. Ultimately, Instant Pay makes it much faster to receive payments than regular pay. Regular pay might be fine for many drivers, especially if they have a good amount of savings and don’t need to rely on day-to-day funds. But if you’re out of cash and looking to drive for Uber to get on your feet, daily pay through Instant Pay can be particularly very beneficial.
