If you are an Uber Driver who is only taking weekly deposits of your money, you may want to get your money faster with Instant Pay. Uber will keep bugging you to sign up for the program, but doing so is easy and beneficial.
Steps
-
1Become an Uber Driver, if you aren't one already.
-
2Add your deposit account to your Uber Driver account. This should be done before you even give your first ride on Uber.
- Open up your Uber Driver app and tap your profile picture in the top right corner of the map. You'll need to have finished up any current rides/deliveries.
- Tap the "Account" option, then tap the "Payment" choice. Tap "Add payment method" and supply the information needed if you haven't already entered into the official Uber Vault .
- You will need the routing number of your bank, as well as account number. Many banks list the routing number on their website. If you can't find your routing number, you can call the bank and ask them.

3Give at least twenty-five rides or delivery requests and wait two weeks to be able to access the Instant Pay feature.
- Once you are signed up, there is no need to maintain a certain amount of Uber activity to keep using InstantPay.
-
4Tap the "Instant Pay" button from the Payment menu. You'll find the Instant Pay button located underneath your bank account information towards the middle of the screen.
-
5Tap the "Add a card" button to add one to your account.
-
6Add in your debit or credit card details. Enter in your first and last name into the appropriate boxes, then your card number and expiration dates.
- You will need at least one debit or credit card with "charging" privileges attached to it, which most Visa, MasterCard or Discover cards offer.
- If you don't have a credit card (or your credit card isn't supported), you can have Uber open up a debit GoBank card in your name for the payments. It may take several days for the new card to arrive. You will not have to pay fees for this service, but this card isn't accepted everywhere you may want to shop. (However, the money can sometimes be transferred to your bank from the GoBank card.)
-
7Tap the "Submit" button.
-
8Recognize that there is a limit on how many times you can cash out per day. Uber only allows five Instant Pay cash-out transactions per day. However, there is no minimum amount of money that you must earn before you can cash out.
-
9Take an Instant Pay payment when you want to. Open your earnings page from your "Account profile and Notifications" page (by tapping your profile icon in the right corner of the map and tapping "Earnings"). Tap the "Cash Out" button at the bottom of the page.
- If you don't cash out then, you'll be reminded which date your payment is expected to be cashed out automatically underneath the Cash Out button.
