For employers - Features & Functionality

For employers and agencies the CrewCard Payroll Card provides the opportunity to drastically cut costs on processing payroll. This is especially true in those industries where a large number of cheques are processed or employees are paid by cash. An all too familiar system especially in markets with high levels of temporary and transitory staff. By providing a CrewCard to employees, the employer is able to load cards with the employees' wages in a cost effective and efficient manner.

CrewCard is available as a two-card pack, ideal for employees that wish to share their funds with friends or family.

CrewCard scores over traditional payroll systems in other ways too:

  • Cost-Cutting. There's no need to process cheques, and CrewCard is significantly cheaper than sending SWIFT or CHAPS payments.
  • Time-Saving. Employers can easily make payments to employees either instantly or within their own timeframe. Employee expenses can also be paid seamlessly with an audit trail.
  • Accessible. Almost anyone can obtain a prepaid card as no bank account or previous credit history is required to apply.
