Real-Time Employee Payouts

CHOICE Payout Engine

Through the PayDayPortal app, your employees choose how and when they get paid — pulling their daily earnings in real time to their bank, debit card, PayCard, or a reloadable Visa card, with no disruption to your tip distributions or payroll.

Four real-time payout destinations — employee choice

Direct to Bank

Paid straight to a checking or savings account via routing & account number.

Direct to Debit

Pushed to any 16-digit debit card number.

Direct to PayCard

Loaded onto their pay card from a supported pay-card provider.

Direct to Visa Reloadable

Loaded onto a reloadable Visa prepaid card.

After your business date is approved and closed, each employee's eligible earnings appear in the PayDayPortal mobile app. When an employee requests a payout, the transfer is made in real time to their chosen destination for a $0.99 convenience fee — about one-third the cost of an ATM fee or the same-day bank transfer other paycard companies charge. Any funds they don't request are paid as expected on the usual next scheduled payroll cycle, and you receive a daily reconciliation report for all paid-out earnings.

Why operators offer CHOICE

Employees Choose

Your team picks both their payout frequency and where the money lands — daily, or whenever they need it.

Hands-Off for Operators

No physical card plastics to issue and no inventory to maintain. It runs in the background for managers and operators.

Stacks With Any Method

Can be offered in combination with another payout method — it adds an option, it doesn't replace one.

Offered at no cost to you as the employer, daily real-time pay gives employees the flexibility to manage daily and unexpected expenses — and we've observed significant improvements in job satisfaction, lower turnover, and a more effective way to recruit and secure top talent.

The Partners Powering CHOICE

Pay Card and digital wallet partners that move your team's earnings the moment they request a payout.
