What is it? An option to have employees’ pay automatically loaded on their own personalized West Virginia Pay Card each pay day. The Pay Card is a reloadable Mastercard® prepaid card issued by Wirecard North America. No bank account or credit check is required.
Who will have it? Any current or future employee who chooses not to have their pay directly deposited into their own account at a financial institution. Retirees are not participants at this time.
How is it used? The card provides flexible and immediate access to the employee’s pay. They can make purchases at millions of Mastercard locations worldwide. They can withdraw cash at ATMs and financial institutions that display the Mastercard logo. There’s even an option for the employee to use a Pre-Check to get cash for part or all of the balance.
How do I enroll? All employees who currently receive a paper paycheck will automatically be enrolled in the Pay Card program. You will receive specific instructions on how to register your card upon receiving it. If you currently receive direct deposit, the Pay Card program will be available to you at a later date.
