Directly from the MF web site...
"Direct Deposit payments will be sent to our bank the WEEK OF JANUARY 11. At this time we are unable to give an exact date until the payments are actually sent. However, the payment details will be reflected on the Shopper Website on the day the payments are sent to our bank. It may take several days for the deposit to show up in your bank account. Some banks will reflect the same date we show on the Shopper Website, but later posting banks will show other dates.
If you have not received your Direct Deposit by the 20th, please let us know at that time as there is nothing we can do prior to that date.
As a reminder, your Independent Contractor Agreement and the Shopper Support Center states: “All compensation will be paid in arrears via check or direct deposit around the 15th to 20th of each calendar month, which covers completed assignments received in our office during the previous month.”
As a courtesy to our Shoppers, to encourage direct deposit sign ups, we pay them earlier in the month than those receiving checks, but all payments will be made by the 20th. However, it could take up to a week after the 20th for people to receive their mailed checks."
