Pay Card Mobile App

Enable instant worker payouts while maintaining payroll efficiency and cost control.

The Pay Card initiative introduced a new payroll option that allows companies to pay workers immediately after each shift through a physical pay card and digital wallet. The project required strong cross-functional alignment to ensure the experience worked for both employers managing payroll and workers receiving funds.
