How do I get paid early?

You can get paid early when you get your salary paid into Pockit via BACS transfer. We may be able to advance the money into your Pockit account the day before it is due! You would receive an email stating the timeframe this would be made available to you.

You don’t need to do anything! We will automatically pay you early whenever possible.

(Please note this is not guaranteed for each deposit)

How it works:

1. When you receive your salary in your Pockit account, for example, due on a Friday

2. You will see the payment as pending the day before on the Thursday

3. You’ll receive your salary by 20:30 UK time (8:30pm) on Thursday the day before your actual payday

Please see below a list of benefits that are eligible for early payment:

1. Benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) including Universal Credit

2. Housing benefits

3. Tax credits

4. Child Benefit

5. Guardian’s Allowance

Did you know that when you receive a BACS payment (for example your salary or benefits) of £600 or more, you get £0.99 straight into your Pockit account on us!
