Understanding Repayment

Knowing how your On-Demand Pay gets repaid is useful knowledge in order to navigate making the best of your experience. The first thing you need to know is Clair does not charge interest or fees for taking an advance. That means the amount you repay is the amount you borrowed, nothing more! We know it’s hard to believe that a company could have your best interest at heart but we truly do.


When your paycheck deposits into your linked account or your due date is reached— whichever comes sooner— repayment is processed directly from your linked account. If your paycheck comes a little later than expected, you can always go into your Clair experience and make a manual repayment to bring your overdue balance to $0 so you can start using On-Demand Pay again. 


Regardless of whether you choose instant1 transfer or the standard transfer method for your deposit, it is your linked account that will be charged for repayment of what you borrowed. 


  • Tip for success: If you choose instant1 transfer, the $4.50 transfer fee will be taken out of the amount you advanced. The amount you advance will always be the amount you pay back. So if you took $100 in On-Demand Pay with an instant1 transfer upgrade, although $95.50 will be deposited onto your card of choice, $100 is the amount that will be repaid. 


If you have taken multiple advances you may see multiple amounts repaid from your linked account. Each advance is an individual loan, so repayment happens for the exact amount of the advances you have taken. 


All Advances are originated by Pathward®, N.A.

1Instant Transfers typically occur in seconds, but may take up to 30 minutes.If you choose to have your Advance disbursed to your bank account instantly, you will be charged a $4.50 fee. This instant transfer fee will be taken out of your Advance at the time of disbursement.
