Payroll Cards

Payroll on a card — instant, flexible, compliant

Fund payroll cards in real time from your payroll system. Give employees and contractors instant access to wages with branded cards, digital wallets, and full spend controls. Ideal for gig economy, contractors, and early wage access programs.

The Challenge

What you are up against

Common barriers to launching and scaling financial products in this space.

01

Delayed pay cycles

Traditional pay runs leave workers waiting days or weeks for funds. Same-day or instant pay is becoming the expectation.

02

Contractor and gig pay complexity

Paying contractors, freelancers, and gig workers via bank transfer is slow and doesn't support card-based spending or allowances.

03

Fragmented payroll and cards

Payroll systems and card programs are separate. Reconciling funding, fees, and usage is manual and error-prone.

04

Compliance and reporting

Payroll cards must align with employment and tax rules. Reporting and audit trails need to be built for compliance.
