It’s not often that one technology can accommodate the needs of a variety of industries. But when it comes to paying employees and supporting the associated payroll costs, our prepaid card has transcended the differences!
There do exist some misconceptions about pay cards and how they work. They have gotten a bit of a raw deal due to nefarious companies who gouge their customers. In other words, a great concept distilled by greed.
Not here. Our pay card concept is a straightforward, affordable one. As a prepaid card, it allows employees to receive and access wage payments, and also load government benefits or cash. The cardholder may then use the card wherever Debit MasterCard or Visa debit cards are accepted.
In general terms, rapid! PayCard benefits:
- Your employees
- The company’s bottom line
- Our environment by providing a green alternative
More specifically, the ways rapid! PayCard removes financial and logistical burdens from HR Managers:
- The rapid! PayCard Program is completely free to implement
- It stimulates cost reductions over the current method of printing and delivering checks and wage statements
- It expands electronic direct deposit participation
- Because this method eliminates paper checks, exposure to check fraud is minimized and lost or stolen check problems eliminated
- Off-cycle payment problems will be decreased allowing additional time available to be spent on other job responsibilities
- Provides the opportunity to increase corporate environmental contributions. If the 22 million Americans who still don’t have direct deposit for their pay, used direct deposit, annually we would save 8.7 million pounds of paper and avoid releasing 25 million pounds of greenhouse gases into the environment.
But wait, there’s more! Companies in two completely diverse industries; fast food and healthcare, made the switch to rapid! PayCard with some exceptional results:
