“I just turned 16 and I’m using it for direct deposit for my checks. So simple and easy. Love the look. It's not like other plain old cards. It's unique. I love how you get to pick the color and the virtual and irl card number. And it's all completely free which I love.”

When your employer sends your paycheck through direct deposit, they let the bank know ahead of time that the money is coming. While some traditional banks wait until the money arrives before allowing you to access it, we make it available to you as soon as we get the notification from your employer.
Don’t wonder whether your check is lost in the mail. We send you a notification as soon as your paycheck hits your Step Account. Plus, your deposit account is insured up to $250,000 by Evolve Bank & Trust, member-FDIC.
Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of the submission of the payment file from your payer. While not guaranteed, Step generally makes these funds available on the day the payment is received, which may be up to 2 days earlier than the scheduled payment date.
