Stripe Issuing

One of Lyft's biggest requests from drivers was the ability to get paid on a more frequent basis compared to the traditional weekly payouts.

Solution

Lyft worked with Stripe to build Express Pay, providing their drivers the ability to decide when they want to get paid—typically within a few hours.

Impact

In 6 months, over 40% of all payouts on Lyft were done over Express Pay. As a result, Lyft was able to differentiate and attract more drivers onto their marketplace.
