Operational Cost Savings and Enhanced Efficiency
The RPM Prepaid MasterCard eliminates the need for paper checks, so it helps reduce expenses associated with paper payroll processing, exception and special payment checks, lost and stolen checks including stop payment fees, fraudulent cashing of duplicate checks, check printing, storing of tendered checks, and retention and reconciliation costs.

Distributions can be made directly to the cards through an ACH deposit (identical to a direct-deposit distribution), or via our optional immediate bulk card funding mechanism. In fact, our unique ABA routing number allows direct-selling companies to use the same process for paying distributors as employees that receive direct-deposit. Each card has the ABA routing number and a card-specific account number. No additional setup or system change is required.

Increased Employee Productivity and Satisfaction
Of the more than 62 million employees who currently use direct deposit, 97% are very satisfied with it.**** Maybe that’s why more than 54% of U.S. payrolls are currently paid by direct deposit.**** Employees and their money are safer carrying a card than carrying cash or checks.

With the RPM Card, trips to the bank or check-cashing stores are eliminated and cardholders get their pay on payday, no matter where they are. Once the card is funded, employees can get cash from an ATM, cash back from certain merchants, and make normal prepaid card purchases at more than 25 million retail locations worldwide that accept Debit MasterCard.

Employees can also arrange for automatic bill payments, card-to-card funds sharing, funds sharing to bank accounts, make purchases online, reserve a hotel room, make an airline reservation and even rent a car. No more check-cashing fees or asking relatives to cash their checks for them.

Managers and supervisors like the RPM Card too, because it eliminates time spent on check distribution.

You will be asked to provide your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. You may also be asked to provide documentation as proof of identification. "100% Guaranteed," “Guaranteed Approval” and "No One Is Turned Down" are contingent upon successfully passing this mandatory identification confirmation.
*** MasterCard and the card issuer will not hold the cardholder liable in the event of an unauthorized use of a U.S.-issued MasterCard card. This coverage extends to purchases made in a store, over the telephone or online, provided the account is in good standing, the cardholder exercised reasonable care in safeguarding the card, and the cardholder has not reported two or more unauthorized events in the past 12 months. Zero Liability does not apply to MasterCard-branded cards issued if a PIN is used as the cardholder verification method for the unauthorized transaction(s).
