Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between DoorDash Crimson and the Red Card?

They are completely separate. The Red Card is a prepaid card used to pay for Shop & Deliver orders at merchant locations. DoorDash Crimson is your personal banking account that comes with a Crimson Card, instant access to Dasher earnings, early direct deposit, and cash back rewards. 

Q: Can I use Fast Pay and DoorDash Crimson together?

No. However, there is  good news: you get something built for Dashers. Your earnings hit your Crimson account automatically after every dash session, for free. Plus, Instant Transfer lets you move money in and out of your DoorDash Crimson account anytime ($1.99 per instant transfer, or fee-free for standard transfers, 3-5 business days).
