Being clear on when you'll receive your money is important. KOVR provides multiple ways to get paid, ranging from nearly instant to a few business days.
The Payment Process
Your payment journey happens in three stages:
- Shift Approval: Once you clock out, the employer reviews your hours. This typically happens within 24 hours.
- Funds Availability: As soon as the employer approves the timesheet, your earnings appear in your **KOVR Wallet**.
- Transfer: You choose how to move those funds to your outside bank account.
Timing Options
1. Instant Pay (Fastest)
If you have a debit card linked, you can trigger an Instant Paytransfer. These funds usually arrive in your bank account within **30 minutes**, including weekends and holidays.
2. Standard Transfer (Free)
Standard ACH transfers to a bank account are processed on business days. Once initiated, it takes **1 to 3 business days** for the funds to clear in your bank.
Bank Holidays and Weekends
Standard transfers are not processed by banks on Saturdays, Sundays, or federal holidays. If you initiate a standard transfer on a Friday evening, it may not arrive until the following Tuesday or Wednesday. Instant Pay is unaffected by bank holidays.
Why is my payment late?
Common reasons for delays include:
- Employer Delay: Most employers approve quickly, but some may take up to 48 hours. If it's been longer, contact support.
- Verification Issues: Check your Wallet to see if Stripe needs more info from you.
- Direct Deposit Errors: Ensure your routing number is 100% correct.
