Frequently asked questions
How it works
What is Dayforce Wallet?
Dayforce Wallet supports employee financial wellness by allowing employers the ability to offer their employees easy access to their pay using a mobile app and their Dayforce Prepaid Mastercard®. The Dayforce Card can be used to make purchases, pay bills, and withdraw cash, all without needing a traditional bank account.
One of the biggest benefits of using Dayforce Wallet is the ability to access pay on-demand, as soon as it’s earned and at no cost.* Employees may also choose to have all or some of their pay added to their Dayforce Card each pay period using direct deposit.
Signing up for the Dayforce Card does not impact credit scores, as it is not a credit card, and there is no credit check. Since it’s a prepaid card, only the available balance can be used.
What is the Dayforce Wallet app?
Dayforce Wallet includes a free, easy to use, mobile app to help you access your pay on demand and manage your card.† Available for Apple and Android devices, the app offers you the ability to view your card balance, available pay, and transaction history, as well as a way to locate in-network ATMs and transfer money to other accounts.
On-demand pay requests are made using the Dayforce Wallet mobile app. When an employee makes an on-demand pay request, funds are added to their Dayforce Wallet account and are accessible using their Dayforce Card.
Who can use Dayforce Wallet?
Dayforce Wallet is available to companies that use Ceridian’s flagship platform, Dayforce, for HCM/payroll in Canada and the United States. Not all Dayforce customers have signed up for Dayforce Wallet, so ask your employer if you’re not sure. You must be 18 years or older to register for Dayforce Wallet.
Adding pay to your card
How is pay added to my Dayforce Card?
You can add your pay to your Dayforce Card in one of two ways:
1. Many employers offer their employees on-demand pay, which means you can add your available pay to your card at any time, without having to wait until your standard payday. Not all companies using Dayforce Wallet offer on-demand pay, so ask your employer if you’re not sure. More information about on-demand pay can be found below.
2. You can also have your pay automatically deposited to your Dayforce Card each pay period by setting your card account up for direct deposit. You can have some or all of your paycheque added to your Dayforce Card even if you also use the on-demand pay feature. Click here to learn more about setting up direct deposit to your Dayforce Card.
