Your Guide to Direct Deposit During the Holidays
by rapid! PayCard @ rapid! PayCard
Thu Nov 16 05:07:27 PST 2017

Visa is paying out a jackpot to vendors willing to bet against old money, and roll the dice on cashless transactions. Visa will give $10,000 to 50 restaurants that pledge to go cashless. The new initiative, what Visa executive Jack Forestall calls “a journey to go cashless,” will incentivize vendors to rip off the bandaid of paper transactions and progress to a cashless system.

New "Direct Express" card for Social Security payments | Consumers Union
Consumers Union
The U.S. Treasury Department announced today the "Direct Express" card. This card could set a new standard for prepaid cards, with real consumer protections and no nasty overdraft fees. The Treasury describes its new card at: Starting this Spring and Summer, the card will be available to people receiving Social Security payments. The new cardt will be most useful to people who don't have a bank account but still want the speed and security of direct deposit, and the convenience of a debit card. People who have direct deposit of Social Security payments to their bank accounts won't see any change. The Treasury Department has done some things right with this new card. According to the details reported today by the Wall Street Journal, the card won't include an overdraft fee, something that has been a hidden escalator in the true cost of holding many of the prepaid cards now on the market.

Fri May 05 09:13:33 PDT 2017
Most of us are diligent about maintaining the various aspects of our life. We swap out the batteries on our smoke detectors with regularity; we schedule annual physicals, and get our car’s oil changed based on the manufacturer’s mileage recommendation. Still, many of us tend to take better care of our cars than we do our financial life. The irony being, an un-tended financial life can break down just as assuredly as an under-serviced automobile. It can run out of gas, but it can also seize up and need a roadside tow. In short, a well-examined financial life is worth exploring. 1. Schedule. Set a recurring point in time for... Read More
