Since there are no rules stating whether you can use should or shouldn’t do otherwise on doordash, you can use someone else’s account either while signing up for doordash as a Dasher or while ordering for your food pickups. But, as a Dasher, you will have to be meticulous about this.
Reversals and answers for using someone else’s bank account for Doordash:
It’s not advisable to just add someone’s bank details without their permission or the guarantee that you’ll get your money after a deposit. So, If you don’t have a bank account or a checking account(doordash only accepts checking accounts), you can make use of your trusted family or friend’s bank details while signing up.
It should also be noted that there are no consequences attached to using someone else’s bank details – because dashers are independent contractors and not employees. The only setback that might be attached is you not having complete control over your money as it’ll be in someone else’s bank.
Alternatively, instead of you going through the hassle of requesting others’ bank details before signing up or collecting your earnings. You can apply for the Dasher prepaid Visa card instead and this will give you complete control over your earnings.
The DasherDirect card is a card doordash created for its employees in cases where they don’t have a bank account or a checking account. The card works like any other card, and a perk to using this as a dasher is that your earnings go straight into your washer direct card.
