The FAQs

Help Center

What employer should I use?

If you have more than one employer, select the one from our list that provides you with your highest net income.

Why do I need to log in to my employer’s payroll system?

We use third-party services, such as Pinwheel and Argyle, to verify employment details, and to automatically update your direct deposit distributions, which speeds up the application process.

Does my employer need to know the purpose of my direct deposit distribution?

No, your employer will not be notified about the purpose of your direct deposit distribution. The setup is similar to depositing your paycheck to multiple bank accounts.

Who are the digital partners and what do they do?

Pinwheel and Argyle are third-party service providers that allow for your information to be quickly and securely verified in just a few clicks, which saves you time in the application process and, if approved, helps get your funds to you sooner.
