What is Instant Pay?
Instant Pay is a benefit that lets you access up to half of your earned pay after each workday for no or low cost.
After completing your shift, you’ll receive a notification on your phone with an offer to access your pay. If you accept, the funds are instantly added to your Instant account for immediate use.

How Instant Differs from DailyPay
〉Your full earnings are deposited directly into your Instant account every Thursday, with any advances automatically deducted. You choose if or when to move money to your bank.
Unlike DailyPay’s automatic transfers, Instant puts you in charge of when and how you access your money, giving you more control over your cash flow.
〉With Instant, you can access to up to 50% of your earnings (up to 6 hours of pay) at 12 PM the day following your shift. You have until 11 PM to accept an offer. If you don’t claim an offer it rolls into your regular paycheck—unlike DailyPay, earnings don’t stack up.
This responsible approach helps you balance flexibility today while preserving more of your paycheck for payday.

FAQs
Questions? We’re here to help.
Allied has switched from DailyPay to Instant Financial. How do I get started?
It’s simple! But before you can get set up with Instant, you must first fully unenroll with DailyPay and all outstanding DailyPay offers must be recovered (this usually takes 1-2 pay periods). You will receive a notification once unenrollment is complete.
To get stated with Instant, go to your LISA portal and navigate to Direct Deposit. Select Sign Up for Instant and follow the instructions on screen.
- For new users, complete the registration as prompted.
- If you have used Instant before or if you’ve previously registered in the app, sign into Instant with your existing credentials. Go to Jobs in the menu and select Allied Universal. If Allied isn’t showing, simply click Add A Job to add it.
You’re all set! It take approximately 24 hours for your account to be configured in Allied’s system and then you will start receiving your pay with Instant.
I don’t see a button to “Sign Up for Instant”
If you don’t see the Sign Up for Instant button on your LISA Direct Deposit screen, it is likely because your DailyPay account is still active.
Follow these steps to complete the transition:
1. Cancel DailyPay
Open your DailyPay app and:
- Go to Settings
- Select Account Cancellation
- Click Cancel My Account
Note: It takes 1–2 pay periods for DailyPay to recoup outstanding funds and close your account.
2. Monitor Your Status
Check your LISA Direct Deposit screen on upcoming paydays. You have been fully unenrolled when the Sign Up for Instant button becomes visible.
3. Complete Instant Enrollment
Once that button appears:
- Click Sign Up for Instant.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to finish your setup.
Why does it say “Direct Deposit Setup was Not Available”?
It’s likely you have an outstanding balance with DailyPay that needs to be recovered before their system will release you to a new direct deposit provider.
Things that can cause this situation include: a timing mismatch between your last DailyPay offer, your payroll cycle, and your transition to Instant – you may have received early pay that hasn’t been recovered by DailyPay yet, this should resolve itself at the time of your next payroll run and then you’ll be free to sign up for Instant.
We unfortunately can’t speed up this process, but you contact DailyPay at 1-866-432-0472 to learn what options they may be able to offer to close your account.
My account is listed as “Enrollment Pending”, what’s going on?
It can take up to 24 hours after completing your sign-up in LISA for your account to complete the process, please check back periodically if the problem persists!
Remember, you MUST choose to “Sign Up for Instant” in the Direct Deposit screen in LISA in addition to enrolling in the Instant App to begin receiving Instant Offers!
It’s been 24+ hours since enrolling, where are my Instant pay offers?
If you have completed setup but still aren’t receiving offers, follow these steps:
1. Check Your Enrollment Status
Sign in to your Instant account and navigate to the Jobs section. Check the status listed under Allied Universal:
- If it says Enrollment Pending, reach out to our support team at instant.co/contact for assistance.
- If it says Enrolled, you are fully configured and ready to go!
2. Ensure Offer Eligibility
If your status is Enrolled but offers aren’t appearing, verify the following shift requirements:
- Clocking In/Out: You must successfully clock in and out for every shift to trigger an offer.
- Manager Approval: Ask your manager to ensure they approve your shifts daily by 10:30 AM ET.
Once your manager approves the shift by this deadline, Instant will receive the data and can extend your offer.
I’ve completed enrollment in Instant but my payroll didn’t hit my Instant card, why?
If you enrolled just before the end of a pay cycle, your setup may not have finalized before payroll was processed. In this case, you can expect your payroll to begin depositing into your Instant account starting with the following pay period.
How do Instant Pay offers work?
Eligible employees receive an Instant Pay offer at 12 PM the day after each shift. This gives you access to half of your shift’s earnings, up to a maximum of 6 hours of pay.
If you would like to receive this pay before payday, you have until 11 PM to accept. Simply click the Instant Pay button on your app’s dashboard to have the funds immediately loaded onto your Instant account for use.
If you do not accept the offer by 11 PM, it will expire and those funds will instead be included in your regular paycheck on payday. Don’t worry—you will receive a new offer after your next workday!
How can I access funds on my account?
Instant gives you total flexibility in how you access and use your money. Here are the most popular ways to manage your funds:
