Alto does not store any of your payment information. We use third party company Stripe to process all payments and refunds. Stripe primarily offers payment processing software and application programming interfaces for e-commerce websites and mobile applications.

Alto’s Fee

Caregivers contribute 15% of their hourly rate to access Alto's caregiver support system. This includes insurance, tools that make caregiving easier, safer, and more sustainable, and personalized support from Alto’s team. This contribution also allows Alto to invest in developing new tools and continually improve the caregiver and careseeker experience, ultimately empowering everyone to focus on what matters most: delivering and receiving quality care.

Caregiver Payouts

Effective as of July 4, 2023

Caregiver payouts are completed via Stripe and are direct deposited weekly. Cutoff for pay periods is the previous Tuesday at 12:00am CST with payouts processed on Fridays at 12:00am CST. Payouts may take 5-10 business days to appear in your account.

Examples:

If a booking takes place on a Monday, the caregiver’s pay will be processed the following Friday.

If a booking takes place on a Wednesday, the caregiver’s pay will be processed NEXT Friday (in 10 days.)

Note that some banks take additional time to process deposits. If you have not received any payment for a booking that was completed more than 15 business days ago please reach out to caregivers@findalto.com.

Where can I see my total yearly earnings?

Your total yearly earnings are available in Stripe.

Refund Policy

A booking that is cancelled more than 48 hours prior to the booking occurring will result in a full refund. Bookings that are cancelled by the caregiver, or that the caregiver didn’t show up for, will result in a full refund.

If a careseeker fails to provide 48 hours notice, they will be charged 50% of the booked services. If there was an issue with your booking and you’d like to request a refund, please contact support@findalto.com.

All refunds are processed via credits to your account. Customer requests for Credits, including requests to receive a refund to the original payment, can be sent to the email address support@findalto.com, with those requests being processed on the last day of each calendar month.
