I recently ran a poll among my community to find out if my followers preferred to get paid by PayPal, check or direct deposit. Much to my surprise, most people who responded want their online jobs paid through a bank account. No checks, please. And don’t get me started on PayPal fees…
The good news is there are plenty of work-at-home jobs that pay by direct deposit. And you’ll also find a good mix of those that pay weekly, biweekly and monthly.
Entry Level Online Jobs Paid Through a Bank Account
3Play Media currently has openings for transcription editors. Contractors average $10 to $30 per hour, according to the website. Word on the street is payment is direct deposit.
Amazon mTurk is what’s known as a short task site. “Turkers” make money by completing small tasks called HITs. You can transfer your earnings to an Amazon Payments account and then transfer those funds to your bank account via direct deposit.
Amazon Work from Home Customer Service is a popular position. These openings are usually seasonal and temporary with the biggest hiring season being in the fall.
Appen hires social media and search engine evaluators. This is a fan favorite among my community. It’s non-phone with a flexible schedule. Agents are paid monthly. There is some conflicting information as to whether direct deposit is still available or whether they have moved to Payoneer only. Drop me a line if you work for the company.
Clickworker is another short task site. This one allows you to be paid by PayPal or bank account. Bank account workers are paid once per month.
ACD Direct is a virtual call center. Agents are paid bimonthly.
SYKES hires at-home customer service reps in 40 U.S. states. Most of their positions are full-time.
KellyConnect is a remote call center paying weekly by direct deposit.
LiveOps allows you to work as many or as few hours as your schedule and theirs permits. Payment is twice monthly.
MaritzCX offers phone positions, but you aren’t selling. Instead, you are conducting consumer research. Pay is weekly by direct deposit.
NexRep offers some interesting at-home phone positions. They are looking for money-motivated representatives to join their team. They pay biweekly.

Working Solutions hires independent contractors to man the customer service lines. Hours available range from 15 to 40 hours per week. Agents are paid twice per month.
Direct Deposit Jobs Requiring a Degree, Experience or Specific Skill
Amazon Flex requires you have a valid drivers license and a mid-size sedan or larger as you will be making deliveries for the merchant. According to the site, you can earn $18-$25 per hour. Payments are processed twice per week – Tuesdays and Fridays.
Landmark Associates hires experienced transcriptionists.
LanguageLine Solutions hires experienced interpreters. Depending on your position, pay may be weekly, biweekly or monthly.
Measurement, Inc. is another fan favorite among my readers. In this position, you will be reading and evaluating essays. You must have a bachelor’s degree to be considered. This is another position that is seasonal and temporary with the biggest need being March to June.
Pearson also hires at-home scorers. Again, you will need at least a bachelor’s degree.
Qkids finds itself in one of the hottest at-home industries of the moment – teaching English online. You don’t need a teaching certificate for this gig, only a bachelor’s degree is any subject. You can earn $16 to $20 per hour (base pay is $8 per 30-minute session). Payment is monthly.
UberEATS will pay you to delivery food orders in your community. You can have your earnings deposited onto your bank debit card up to five times per day. This is a great gig to have in place should an emergency funds situation ever arrive. And it will.
Yup offers online tutoring services in Math, Physics and Chemistry. Tutors are paid monthly by direct deposit. You will need to pass a subject and teaching exam. Tutors are compensated based on experience and content mastery.
If you are looking for online jobs paying through a bank account, this is a good list to get you started. It isn’t all-encompassing. There will be other great gigs out there. FlexJobs is my go-to job board as they screen all their leads for legitimacy so you can apply with confidence. Memberships start at just $14.95 per month. Use code WAHWIFE for a discount.
