Understanding how you get paid and when you can expect your earnings is crucial for gig workers when it comes to managing their personal finances. Currently, Amazon Flex drivers are paid twice a week, every Tuesday and every Friday. And these payments are typically processed within 24 hours.

In addition to the twice-weekly payments, Amazon Flex drivers now have the option to cash-out every day! This means that drivers can choose to receive their earnings on a daily basis, providing them even faster access to cash and thereby greater control over their finances.

Opting for daily payments can be advantageous for drivers who prefer to have immediate access to their earnings, as it allows them to receive their payments the day after completing a delivery. This new feature offers drivers the convenience and flexibility to manage their earnings according to their individual needs and preferences. And these payments are typically processed within 24 hours.

However, it’s important to note that the exact timing of payments may vary depending on your bank’s processing requirements, or if payday falls on a bank holiday. These quick payment options make it very easy for drivers to earn quick cash, each and every week. Which can be beneficial for managing their finances and cash flow.

Amazon Flex drivers have two options for receiving their payments. The first option is direct deposit, where your earnings are deposited directly into your bank account. The second option is the Amazon Flex debit card, which allows you to receive your earnings on a reloadable prepaid card. You can use this card for purchases or to withdraw cash from ATMs.

It's also important to remember that as an independent contractor, you're responsible for managing your taxes. Amazon Flex does not withhold taxes from your earnings, so it's essential to set aside a portion of your earnings for tax purposes.

The frequency of payment for Amazon Flex drivers aligns with the flexible nature of the job. Not only do Amazon Flex drivers have the flexibility to choose their own working hours and schedule, but they now also have the flexibility to choose when they want to get paid.
