Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 7, 2008 -- PLS Check Cashers today announced their agreement to purchase three check cashing stores in Staten Island, NY from MTW Check Cashing Corp. and Staten Island Payment Center (SIPC), owned by David Schwartz. The new Staten Island locations, which were closed for a week prior to the purchase agreement and are now re-opened, are 202 Bay Street, 770 Port Richmond Avenue and 169 Port Richmond Avenue.
"PLS Check Cashers is truly pleased to add locations on Staten Island," says PLS Co-President Bob Wolfberg, noting that PLS now has twelve locations in and around New York City. PLS Check Cashers provides traditional check cashing and money transfer services, and has recently introduced a wide variety of e-payment services. In 2006, PLS began to offer the PLS Visa Prepaid Card, a prepaid debit card that is linked to a savings account, and PLS Xpress Benefits, a direct deposit service for government benefits. PLS has recently launched PLS ePay, an electronic bill payment service, and PLS Payroll Direct, a payroll direct deposit service.
For Chicago-based PLS Check Cashers, the New York market feels a lot like home - a city of neighborhoods filled with hard-working individuals. PLS Co-President Dan Wolfberg believes that PLS Check Cashers has connected with its customers by consistently delivering high-quality customer service and convenient, easily accessible locations. He also notes that more than 40% of PLS customers have traditional bank accounts, but find that PLS service and pricing is far better than bank offerings. "If you're working second or third shift, it's hard to get to the bank during regular business hours. And if you can get there, they sock you with all sorts of hidden fees. Most of our locations never close, and our pricing is transparent and affordable."
PLS Check Cashers has aggressive expansion plans in the New York and New Jersey areas, fueled by the success of the current nine locations. "We often receive requests from our customers, asking if we can open a store near their home" says Wolfberg, "It's great to hear that we've filled a need in a very important area of the country."
