Up until now, Uber drivers who needed to get paid quickly relied on services like Clearbanc, which charges $2 a day to deposit money into an account. That quickly adds up if you work several days a week.

GoBank and its parent company Green Dot, best known for pre-paid debit cards, say that they'll be exploring similar partnerships with other companies if the Uber program is successful. And given the fast rise of the on-demand economy, there likely will be significant demand for workers to be paid more quickly.
