rapid! will talk about how static timelines for fixed paydays and rigid schedules for payouts are being challenged by a new payment solution that meets your employees' desire to receive disbursements NOW to any personal debit card, ANY paycard Brand, or other financial account. Advances in technology are driving an unstoppable shift to an on-demand culture in Financial Services. This includes the delivery of corporate payments including wages, accounts payable, off cycle payments, adjustments, separation payments, accrued wage payments, and tips. In this session, we will discuss how businesses that don't adapt could find themselves behind the competition.
