Payroll card providers, employers, and consumers in New York can breathe a huge sigh of relief. Global Cash Card's petition against the New York Department of Labor payroll card regulations due to go into effect on March 7, 2017, has been granted. The industry had been raising red flags about the regulations, which many feared would result in providers exiting the market, since first proposed in 2015.

Five Global Cash Card Cardholders received phone calls in January that started their year on a very happy note. They were told they were winners in the January Global Cash Card Cardholder Sweepstakes. 

When Syreeta, a Visa cardholder with Vangent, Inc., heard she was the lucky winner of $3,500, she couldn't contain her excitement, "This is the perfect was to start out the new year! I really needed the extra money after all the expenses during the holiday season." 

Other winners were equally as ecstatic to receive unexpected funds at the beginning of the year. Anthony, a MasterCard cardholder with Construction Labor Contractors, hasn't decided what he will do with his $3,500 winnings, but has a lot of ideas in mind. 
 

We’ve been providing paycards for 13 years now. When we first started in 2002, we were literally working from the trunk of my car. My office travelled with me. Back then, payroll cards, also known as paycards, were just getting off the ground. Most people didn’t really know what they were or how to utilize them. 

Global Cash Card is once again excited to join the American Payroll Association as a proud sponsor of National Payroll Week.  Through our almost 12 year partnership with the American Payroll Association we continue to recognize the value of supporting education to dedicated payroll professionals. National Payroll Week distinguishes all committed payroll professionals who pay America's workforce.
