Kittrell Paycard Launches On-Demand Pay Feature to Improve Worksite Productivity and Reduce Employee Financial Stress
DALLAS (PRWEB) March 28, 2018 -- Kittrell Paycard, a leading provider of prepaid payroll cards to the staffing industry, announced it has added a new on-demand pay feature to its payroll cards called InstantWage™. InstantWage allows cardholders to access their earned but unpaid wages at any time instead of having to wait for payday.
“At Kittrell Paycard we are committed to providing our clients and their employees with the best possible solution so we are always looking for ways to enhance our product,” said Mary Kittrell-Kinkaid, CEO, Kittrell Paycard. “InstantWage is a powerful tool to improve the long-term financial wellness of cardholders while at the same time helping our staffing clients increase worksite productivity and employee retention.”
Until now, employees who were short on cash would be forced to charge a credit card, overdraft their bank account (if they have one) or turn to pricey payday loans. In 2015, consumers spent $141 billion in fees and interest on these types of financial services according to research from the Center for Financial Services Innovation.
This financial dilemma is not just a problem for employees. Employers are also suffering from the costs associated with employee financial stress. Employees that are worried about their finances are less productive, call out sick more often and are more likely to look for another job.
To access InstantWage an employee must have a Kittrell Paycard. There is no cost** to the employer or time-consuming technology integration needed to offer InstantWage to its employees. There is also no impact on a business’s cash flow or normal payroll process. Once an employer is signed up, all of their employees with earned but unpaid wages are eligible. For a small transaction fee of $5, employees can get immediate* access to as much as half of their earned net wages.
The Kittrell Paycard and InstantWage are powered by Cardplatforms and its proprietary digital payments platform, Blu Box™.
