Prepaid Cards Help Consumers Plan for Happier Holidays and a More Prosperous New Year |
|
|
December 1, 2010
‘Tis the season to overspend! Many hard-working Americans dig themselves into financial holes over the holidays and work the rest of the year to dig back out. Escaping this endless spending loop requires more than careful planning. These consumers need access to financial tools that promote success -- like prepaid cards that offer savings accounts.
While credit cards are a great tool for those who can afford and will carefully manage them, they tempt many cardholders to overspend themselves into spiraling debt. Debit cards are a good fit for some, but they only make sense for consumers who are able to maintain considerable minimum balance requirements. For many consumers, prepaid cards offer the most convenient and economical solution to meet their financial management and payment needs.
In addition to keeping consumers from spending money they don't have or building up debt that they can't afford, some prepaid cards actually offer free, interest-bearing savings accounts. They even provide an automatic transfer option that helps cardholders build toward their savings goals. For these consumers, prepaid cards offer an affordable solution that will help them get ahead so they can look forward to celebrating a happy holiday season -- without sacrificing their happy New Year!

It's budget season, again, and it seems every year is a struggle to find new ways to cut costs. For some, the reality of this year's budget is the grim potential for reduced revenue and profits. What else can you do when the numbers just don't add up?
Here's a potential game changer: Implement a paycard program and switch to electronic payroll! In our experience, and we have over a decade, you can expect to save a lot - at least $1 per paycheck you issue and even more for exception pay. In fact, most of our clients can expect to save over 40 percent of their payroll costs. Savings includes your current cost of processing, printing and distributing checks. If you're paying to print and distribute paystubs, then you can eliminate those costs altogether for paycard employees. And there are also many less direct, but still impactful, gains to consider. Implementing electronic payroll delivers transformational efficiencies and productivity increases – not only in your payroll department, but in the field, as well. No more escheatment! No more payday parades of employees lining up to pick up their checks! You'll even realize significant environmental gains from eliminating paper production and transportation.
How much do you stand to save? We'd be happy to apply our proprietary ROI model to present you with various savings scenarios and make program recommendations based on your unique payroll requirements, employee composition and other key factors. Contact our

for a consultation, and you might just go from considering drastic cost-cutting solutions to contemplating what you want to do with the savings!

You’ve Got Money! |

While most of my pay is deposited directly into my bank account, I also enjoy the convenience and cash back rewards that my PaychekPLUS! Elite® Visa®Payroll Card offers. That's why I have $30.00 loaded onto my paycard every pay period. This Friday, I'm going to see how many ways I can use my paycard to my advantage. Follow me, and let's see what happens...
9:19 a.m. - A text alert informs me that $30.00 was loaded onto my card and my balance totals $30.23.
10:30 a.m. - I log onto the cardholder website, and I see I have $30.23 on my card and $65.00 in my savings account. I also see - thanks to my PaychekPLUS! Elite card's Cash Back Rewards program - that there's an offer for 25% cash back on purchases at Sports Authority - no limit. I'll have to start thinking about what I need from Sports Authority. I also have a new cash back offer from Taco Bell - 10%. Looks like I'm going to Taco Bell for lunch. While online, I want to pay my Best Buy credit card bill. First, I transfer an extra $30.00 from savings to my card, and then I pay my bill using online bill pay. That was easy, and I saved time and a stamp! My ending balance is now $25.23.
12:15 p.m. - I order lunch at the Taco Bell drive through. Lunch costs $5.34, but I earned $0.53 cash back. A new text alert says I was charged $5.34 and I have $19.89 on my card. I look at the receipt and note that my authorization number also reflects a balance of $19.89.
8:15 p.m. - Movie time with my wife! Two tickets cost $18.50. A new text alert confirms I was charged $18.50 for the tickets and informs me that I have $1.39 on my card. On the way to the concession stand, I call the phone number on the back of my card and transfer another $20.00 from savings to my card. Two candy treats and a large Diet Coke cost $13.50, as I'm reminded by text alert, and I end the day with $7.89 on my card.
Clearly, I found a lot of ways to make good use of my card in just one day. Next payday I think I'll take my $37.89 and head over to Sports Authority for 25% off golf balls!
