Automated Disbursements

We can automate tip payouts or other disbursements so they're sent immediately after each shift. No need to get cash out or put these payments onto an employees' next paycheck. Plus, no manual data entry required from you.

0 Fees. Ever

To be truly beneficial, financial services need to be free for both you and your employees. That's why don't charge unnecessary fees. This includes zero ATM fees within the Allpoint Network, zero overdraft fees, management fees, inactivity fees, or minimum balance requirements.

Better User Experience

Our app store rating: 4.8. The other guys? 2.8. Not only are we rated higher, but we built a solution that’s designed to be easy for your employees and a seamless integration into the payroll process for you.

"Our biggest reason for going with Branch was the lack of fees. I looked at a lot of different paycard type solutions, and there are some ridiculous fees. If you breathe on your card, there's a fee, and we don't feel that that's fair to our team members."
