Cut Your Payroll Costs Today
Monday, February 22, 2010 @ 05:02 PM
As employers increasingly seek to reduce expenses, the elimination of paper paychecks presents one such opportunity. While direct deposit is a long standing solution, millions of American employees remain unbanked, lacking the traditional banking relationship needed for typical electronic pay.
With the Money Network – Electronic Payroll Distribution Services, employers can provide their employees the benefits of electronic pay while at the same time reducing administrative costs. The pay-to-the-penny solution includes the Money Network™ Card and Money Network™ Check, enabling employers to easily comply with payroll laws*, while providing a safe and convenient pay alternative for employees.
Money Network prepaid products cater to a rapidly growing demand for innovative payment products that make it easy and secure for cardholders to pay bills and make purchases in person, online, or on the phone without a bank account. Your employees have the convenience of accessing pay with ease from thousands of surcharge-free ATMs and check cashing locations.
Money Network ensures prompt disbursement and access to wages for all employees, improves payroll security and controls and administers uninterrupted pay in case of disaster. Your employees will also appreciate the ability to upgrade to a personalized Visa Payroll Card, along with the option to pay for virtually anything in person, online or in store. They also have secure access to funds and balance information and 24/7 bi-lingual customer service.
For more information on Money Network Electronic Payroll Distribution Services, please call your First Data Independent Sales (FDIS) representative at 800.616.1899
