Toast Pay Card and PayOuts Overview

We are excited that you would like to learn more about the Toast Pay Card and PayOut program offered to Toast Payroll customers! You must have Toast Payroll in order to use the Toast Pay Card.

Toast Pay Card

The Toast Pay Card is a free product for you to offer to your employees. Toast Pay Card is also free for employees to use, and allows them to receive their earnings directly on a prepaid debit card that can be used anywhere Mastercard® is accepted.

If you participate in the program, your employees will be able to:

• Use Toast PayOuts for instant access to a portion of earned tips and wages before payday, if you choose to make Toast PayOuts available.
• Withdraw cash from over 37,000 ATMs within the MoneyPass® network at no cost to them and no third-party fees.
• Transfer money from their Toast Pay Card to external bank accounts.
• Provide their Toast Pay Card's routing and account numbers to third parties (e.g. their cell phone provider) to pay bills.

Toast PayOuts, a feature free for you and your team if you choose to make it available, can provide your employees with up to 100% of their earned tips (max $500 per day) and a portion of earned wages before payday (max $500 per pay period).

If you choose to not make PayOuts available to your employees, your 0% line of credit will remain open until you stop participating in the Toast Pay Card and PayOut program.
