Power of Partnership: The Prepaid Card and App

The prepaid card was an innovation driven by the pay phone. True story.

Full of coins, payphones were targets of vandalism and theft as they were essentially piggy banks on street corners. To solve this problem, the prepaid phone card was invented in 1975 to eliminate the need for coins. Now with a prepaid card, a potential caller didn’t have to worry about a broken coin slot, and the payphone manufacturers could worry less about vandalism.

The prepaid phone card quickly evolved into several products, including the general purpose reloadable (GPR) card. And that brings us to the latest evolution of the GPR card, Friday by DailyPay, which combines an app and card to provide no-fee, instant access to on-demand pay transfers.¹

The new app and Visa card work seamlessly with a DailyPay account while also providing several new features that expand the benefits of on-demand pay for both employees and employers.

Benefits for Employees

Friday empowers employees with access to their earned pay, and they don’t need an existing bank account to sign up. They can simply create an account and choose to have their direct deposit routed to the Friday Card, unlocking their earned pay, at no-fee¹ (it’s not a typo) with on-demand instant transfers, without having to wait for payday. The card can be used everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted. No hidden fees,² no maintenance fees, no inactivity fees and no minimum balance is required. It also provides employees with no-fee² (also not a typo) access to 55,000+ in-network ATMs through the Allpoint® Network.

By combining on-demand pay with the convenience of a GPR card, Friday empowers employees with increased visibility and control over their finances.

Employees are able to see their available earnings balance and spending in one, easy to use application. They control their finances because they are able to get 100% of their DailyPay Balance before payday.

What are people doing with this increased visibility and control?

According to DailyPay user data, most people are monitoring their DailyPay Balance, so they know how much will be available at payday. It’s giving them an easy way to align their financial resources with their personal and family needs.

Groceries, gas and vehicle repairs are the main items that people invest in. By removing the constraint of payday cycles, people get greater control over their finances in a way that enables them to make better financial decisions.

The ability to make different decisions empowers people to avoid expensive payday loans or overdraft fees, and enables them to do things like pay the electricity bill on time, avoiding an additional set of expenses to have it turned back on.

Getting started:

Getting started with Friday by DailyPay is also very easy so employees can quickly begin to see the benefits:

2. Sign up for a DailyPay account through the Friday app. If already a DailyPay account holder, just connect Friday to your DailyPay account through the Friday app.
3. Sign up for the Friday Card.³ The digital version will be available immediately.
4. Add the digital Friday Card to your wallet. Once shipped, the physical card will arrive in the mail in 5-7 business days.
5. Activate your physical card.
6. Friday is ready to use.

Benefits for Employers

DailyPay offers Friday directly to employees and manages the entire relationship with Friday cardholders. There is nothing for employers to do.

That said, there can be operational benefits for employers when employees sign up for the Friday Card and elect to have their direct deposit routed to it – there’s no need for paper checks or other costs associated with supporting unbanked/underbanked employees, which saves the payroll team time and money.

But the real value to employers isn’t the lack of additional work or the potential for cost reductions. It’s the financial wellness gained by employees. With on-demand pay, people make better financial decisions for their future. These employees become more loyal. The research shows that 95%⁴ of employees would be interested in working for a company that offers on-demand pay, and on-demand pay has helped companies increase tenure by up to 73%.⁵

In today’s ultra competitive environment for talent, this type of edge can make all the difference between becoming an employer of choice and having a tough year.
