MasterCard Payroll Cards For Business MasterCard Bank Card Program MasterCard research shows that employers today have misconceptions about payroll card programs and do not understand how they work and how they can reduce the cost of payroll distribution. This creates a signifcant opportunity for payroll card program providers to grow their businesses by closing this payroll card “education gap.” When compared to traditional paper paychecks, payroll cards represent an opportunity for employers to reduce the cost of payroll disbursement by as much as $223 per employee per year, while delivering a new beneft that enables employees to keep more of the money they earn. Payroll cards are especially valuable to the more than 60 million people in the U.S. who have no relationship with a bank (unbanked), or a limited one (underbanked).
