AccountantsWorld Partners with Directo, Inc. to Provide Paycards to Accounting Professionals
Atlanta, GA, July 29, 2008 --(PR.com)-- AccountantsWorld, the 110,000-member strong community and solution provider dedicated to helping accountants advance their practice, has partnered with Atlanta-based Directo, Inc. to provide paycards to its Payroll Relief customers.
Paired with Payroll Relief, AccountantsWorld’s successful payroll service, Directo’s paycard solution allows employers to offer direct deposit to all workers.
According to AccountantsWorld's Co-founder and President, Dr. Chandra Bhansali, “We are glad to partner with Directo for this important service our customers have been asking for. Use of paycards is a win-win for both employers and workers. While Directo paycards reduces the burden of printing, handling and distributing paychecks for employers, it offers a low-cost, secure money management tool to employees. Pay is deposited in an FDIC-insured bank, safe from theft and loss.”
“Directo is focused on providing a low risk, low cost and hassle free solution for payroll providers and their clients," said Bob Howe, President and CEO of Directo. “At the same time, we provide access to basic financial services for workers who otherwise are left to pay high fees to transact their financial affairs. We are excited to partner with AccountantsWorld to create a financial win for all parties.”
Typically, Directo‘s accounts are opened at the workplace. The accounts are individually owned and funds are held in an FDIC-member bank, providing added security as well as portability. The account can be used for direct deposits from multiple employers, tax refunds and government benefits. The worker’s funds are accessed at ATM s worldwide and domestic point of sales. Directo has provided paycard services to hundreds of businesses since 1998.
