The Skylight ONE® Card

A powerful paycard that can help employees meet their goals

The Skylight ONE® Visa® Prepaid Card or Skylight ONE Prepaid Mastercard® can help employees to control their financial well-being.

Direct Deposit

Employees receive their pay via direct deposit onto a paycard. That can mean no more waiting to cash checks and paying check-cashing fees.

Use Anywhere

They can use a paycard to shop online, in stores, or anywhere else that Visa debit or Debit Mastercard is accepted.

Add Money

Some programs allow employers to add cash or checks in person at 130,000+ convenient Reload Locations nationwide.[2]

Fee may be assessed by reload location and may vary from location to location. Ability to use this feature is subject to ID verification.

Convenient Access

Employees have methods to access 100% of their pay at no cost.

Get Paid Faster

Employees can get paid up to 2 days faster with Direct Deposit.[3] 

Faster funding claim is based on a comparison of our policy of making funds available upon receipt of payment instruction versus the typical banking practice of posting funds at settlement. Fraud prevention restrictions may delay availability of funds with or without notice. Early availability of funds requires payor’s support of direct deposit and is subject to the timing of payor’s payment instruction.

Employees can better manage their money

No cost ways for employees to access their funds

Keeping money in employees’ pockets is important to us, and we provide many options for employees to access their funds.

Over-the-Counter Bank Withdrawals

Walk into any of the 122,000+ Visa or Mastercard member banks nationwide to speak with a teller to withdraw cash.

Skylight Checks

We provide checks that allow cardholders to walk into the bank that issues the check and withdraw 100% of the balance available in their accounts.[4]

Skylight Checks can be cashed at no cost at any branch location of the bank who issued the check (printed on the top of the check), at participating Walmart locations, and at participating ACE Cash Express locations. Other check cashers set their own policies regarding check acceptance and may charge you a fee to cash Skylight Checks. See the Skylight Checks for step-by-step instructions.

Plus, employees in some programs may also be able to make signature or PIN purchases, and many businesses offer the ability to receive cash back at point of sale during other transactions.

Save for the future

  • If the Average Daily Balance is $1,000.00 or less, the interest rate paid on the entire balance will be 4.91% with an annual percentage yield (APY) of 5.00%.
  • If the Average Daily Balance is more than $1,000.00, the interest rate paid on the portion of the Average Daily Balance which exceeds $1,000.00 will be 0.49% with an APY of 0.50%, and the interest paid on the portion of the Average Daily Balance which is $1,000.00 or less will be 4.91%. The APY for this tier will range from 5.00% to 0.54%, depending on the balance in the account.

The interest rates and APYs of each tier may change. The APYs were accurate as of May 7, 2020. These are promotional rates and may change without notice pursuant to applicable law. No minimum balance necessary to open Savings Account or obtain the yield(s). Because Savings Account funds are withdrawn through the Card Account (maximum 6 such transfers per calendar month), Card Account transaction fees could reduce the interest earned on the Savings Account.
