“It helps me from being late on bills or being late on rent. It's a lifesaver. DailyPay is right there to catch you when you're falling.”

“DailyPay made me feel great because of the savings account. A certain amount of my pay goes to my savings account which helps me save money.”

“Because of DailyPay I was able to get my money right then and there. It is a blessing being able to get your money without having to turn to cash advances and pay excessive fees.”

When you sign up for DailyPay through Cornell University, you’ll be able to access your earned pay, 24/7/365. DailyPay enables you to view your Cornell University paycheck and transfer the money to a bank account, pay card, or debit card for a transactional fee. You can also save your earned pay in a savings account of your choice at no cost. 

DailyPay is not a payday loan. Payday loans often have hidden fees or interest payments that can leave the borrower in debt. DailyPay enables you to access your earnings before payday, and there is no loan to repay of any kind.

  • Is DailyPay a loan?

    No, this is not a loan. We are here to stop you from needing to take out a loan. By using DailyPay, you are simply transferring your own earned income into your bank account or card. You can only transfer money that you have already earned, but that has not yet been paid to you.

  • How does DailyPay work?

    Each day you work, you build up a Pay Balance in your DailyPay account that can be transferred into your bank account, to your debit card or to your payroll card. This balance is updated when you clock out of each shift. You can access funds from your Pay Balance instantly or next-business day. Whatever money is leftover in your Pay Balance, after you make transfers during a pay period, will automatically be paid to you on your next payday as Remainder Pay. Our software uses an algorithm that prevents you from taking out more money than you have. The Pay Balance you see in your DailyPay account is your net Pay Balance and excludes any estimated taxes, deductions, and other withholdings such as garnishments. You can use the DailyPay app, a tablet, or a computer to access your earned and unpaid income.

  • What is your DailyPay Balance?
  • What happens once I make my first transfer?
  • Why should I sign up for DailyPay?

    DailyPay can provide you with many benefits. They include, but are not limited to:

    • Access to your earned pay so you can pay bills on time
    • The ability to save your earned pay in a savings account of your choosing
    • Access to your own money in case of an emergency
    • Seeing how much you earn each day, which makes it easier for you to budget
  • Why did my direct deposit change in Workday when I made my first early transfer?

    Once you make a transfer, your direct deposit in Workday will be changed to an account DailyPay will establish for your participation in the program.  On payday, DailyPay will send your Remainder Pay to the primary bank account you specify in your DailyPay account settings. Since DailyPay becomes your account and routing number on file in Workday, any updates or changes to your direct deposit information must be done within your DailyPay account or there could be a delay in your pay.

  • How do I cancel my DailyPay account?

    By following the steps below, you may cancel your account. If you have made an earnings transfer ahead of payday, you may request DailyPay account closure at any time, but we’ll receive one final paycheck from your employer to cover the transfers that we sent you early, passing along any remaining pay to your bank account on file. 

     

    Once we receive this final paycheck and the account balance is covered, your account will be fully canceled out. This process can take up to a couple pay periods to ensure full account closure. Your account number on file will be automatically sent back to your employer as the deposit account on record. You do not need to update your HR system.
