OnePay suits people who already shop at Walmart often. Its rate and fee schedule, effective October 13, 2026, lists a $0 monthly fee and $0 overdraft fee, with no minimum balance to open or to earn interest. Direct deposit can arrive up to 2 days early, and eligible deposits open up to $200 of fee-free overdraft. You can add or take out cash at any Walmart through the app. Savings pockets pay 3.35% APY, and Pay Autosave can move a share of each paycheck there. The Builder Card is a secured credit card with no security deposit, no monthly fees and no credit check, where your checking balance sets the limit. OnePay Rewards pays points at select brands, plus 3% back on a chosen category up to $150 spent each month. Fees apply elsewhere: $3.00 at non-Allpoint ATMs, 1.75% for instant transfers and $15 per checkbook. OnePay is not a bank; Coastal Community Bank or Lead Bank hold deposits.
