How long does it take for Lyft to pay you?

Weekly payouts are the default way to get your earnings. We'll transfer earnings to your bank account without you having to do anything. Your weekly transfer starts automatically every Tuesday morning. Once your transfer starts, you won't be able to cash out last week's earnings using Express Pay.
