Instant-Issue a Dayforce Wallet Card: HR Administrators

Important: Before you can instant-issue a Dayforce Wallet Card to US employees, you must have some cards on hand. You can order a supply of the Dayforce Wallet Card in the Wallet tab on the Dayforce Support Portal. For instructions, go to https://support.dayforce.com and look up article KA-03489, or search for “How Do I Order Instant Issue Dayforce Cards? (US)”.

HR administrators—and other users authorized to access employee HR records in the People feature—can instant issue a Dayforce Wallet Card to an employee without the need to disburse funds at the same time, provided the employee does not already have a Dayforce Wallet Card. Dayforce automatically runs a verification query to see whether the employee already has a Dayforce Wallet Card. If the employee already has a Dayforce Wallet Card, the option to instant-issue one isn’t available.

The following screenshot illustrates the Payroll > Direct Deposit screen in People, where the HR administrator can issue an instant-issue Dayforce Wallet Card to an employee: 

New pay card entry with Card Type, Pay Card Number, Product Registration Number, Expiriation Date, and other fields.

After the HR administrator issues this card to the employee, the employee can set it up as a direct deposit option for regular payments (that is, not for Dayforce Wallet on-demand payments).

Important: An employee can only have one card activated at a time, either an instant-issue card or a personalized card. If an employee receives an Instant card first and then requests and activates the personalized card, the instant-issue card stops working.
