Switching helps unlock Payroll Credit, which acts like flexible credit that grows with your direct deposits. Combine this with your Flex Credit and Secured Deposit, and you get your total Spend Power—the full amount you can use with your Atlas card.
What you get with direct deposit
Up to $250 Payroll Credit — Grows every other paycheck as long as your direct deposit is steady
Early Pay — Get paid up to 2 days early
Platinum Perks — Unlock exclusive rewards with higher deposits
Mystery Boxes — Earn surprise rewards or chances to double your paycheck
Why it matters
You won’t get instant cash, but direct deposit gives you real benefits that grow with you—like building credit access, unlocking rewards, and getting more from every paycheck.
