Happy Holidays!
Team Empower wishes you and your loved ones a safe and happy holiday season and a happy 2024!
Please note that 12/25/2023 and 01/01/2024 are bank holidays, so automated payouts from Stripe will be delayed by one day. If you need funds immediately, you can take advantage of Stripe’s Instant Payout feature, which can be accessed in the Driver App from the main menu.
Instant payout to banks
Stripe has made recent updates that now allow Stripe accounts linked with certain bank accounts to receive instant payouts (see full list here). As always, if you would like to take advantage of the Stripe instant payout feature, please select ‘Instant Payout’ from the menu in the driver app.
