About this app

Grow the money you earn on Lyft with cashback and other perks

Designed exclusively for drivers on the Lyft platform, the Lyft Direct app gives you access to financial tools that help you manage your money.

Instant Payouts: Get your earnings immediately after each ride directly into a secure bank account.

Earn Cashback: Receive 1-10% cashback on gas when you pay at the pump, 1-12% on EV charging and additional rewards on groceries, dining, and more.

Wellness Perks by Avibra: Active drivers unlock free life and accident insurance, support for your well-being, and more.

Grow Your Savings: Set up automatic savings with a high-yield savings account that earns you interest.*

Balance Protection: Access $50-$200 to cover unexpected expenses when you need it most.

Spend Insights: Monitor your average daily or monthly spending and allows you to create custom budgets.

The Lyft Direct Mastercard® debit card is issued by Stride Bank, N.A., member FDIC, pursuant to a license by Mastercard International.

Ride fare earnings will be sent after each ride. There may be instances where funding is delayed. Tips will be sent based on the Rider’s selection, which may take place up to 24 hours after the ride is completed.

Rewards categories and amounts subject to change without notice and vary based on Lyft Reward Tier. Cashback rewards are earned for select purchases using your debit card and become available for redemption as those purchases settle. For cashback on gas, only payments made at the pump are eligible.
Payment for gas made inside the gas station is not generally eligible for cashback. Gas merchant classification is subject to Mastercard rules.

Wellness Perks is powered by Avibra and subject to eligibility for active Lyft Direct users. To be considered active, you must have received a payout to your Lyft Direct card within the last 60 days. Wellness Perks are subject to change without notice; select services are limited by state residency.

Interest is offered only on funds in a Lyft Direct Savings Account. The annual percentage yield (APY) may change at any time without notice.

Balance Protection is only available to Lyft Direct debit card users with enabled instant payouts to the card after every trip. Eligible amount is dependent on the driver's Lyft Rewards tier. Eligibility requirements for Balance Protection subject to change without notice. Terms and conditions apply. Lyft Direct Cardholder Agreement and Payfare Program Terms can be found in the Lyft Direct app.

Overall nice app. The pay is a hair bit more then most apps I've seen but considering car labor, and gas alone, you really don't profit much. But it's definitely good for side gig for emergency cash. It would be extremely great if it kept track of all expenses and mileage etc for taxes. The only thing I really strongly dislike, is theres no "map" for surrounding areas to compare to, as far as where has the most business and when but they do for few select areas. Still pretty great tho!

Won't open anymore. It worked through yesterday, but when I tried to access my account, it stuck on the landing page. Just a blue screen with the words "Lyft Direct powered by Payfare". Now my money is inaccessible until my card arrives. I may have to rethink this. Thanks for replying to my review. The app opened this morning 11/6. Hopefully the issue has resolved itself.

I've been driving for barely a month and I have found the app user friendly. I'd been registered for a month and a halve but was afraid to get started knowing that I was going to pickup strangers and permit them in my car was a bit scary!! After reading all the driver material, it put me at ease to learn that the "help" button is at reach in case of anything. It's been a very smooth start getting the account as well as the debit card and being able to see your earnings in real time.
