rapid! PayCard
The use of paycards has grown over the last few years and even the skeptics have gradually joined the bandwagon. That’s all due to the many benefits that paycards come with. Among the most popular of these is the rapid! PayCard. It is basically a payroll card used by employers when paying the employees their wages. It also acts as a prepaid card that draws directly from the employee’s payroll account.
It works in a very simple way. An employer deposits an employee’s net wages into a payroll account. The latter then uses a rapid! PayCard to withdraw cash, pay bills, and make purchases. Once you have enrolled for a paycard, there is no need for paper paychecks. In fact, this card gives you access to your money the morning payday. All aspects of your expected wages including pay advances, awards, and bonuses will be available to you through your card.
The rapid! PayCard is a debit card, which essentially ties you down to spending the money you already have on the card. It doesn’t require you to have a credit check. You can use it at grocery stores, retail stores, gas stations, and ATMs.

PayCard application form is available with the employer free of charge. Employees get to fill in the form and submit it for processing. Within days, they will receive their rapid! PayCard, which they can now use to make purchases, cash withdrawals, and pay bills.
