We offer flexible service options to meet your needs.
Fast Pay
Fast Pay provides fast and easy administration, with payments issued twice a week, generally on Tuesdays and Fridays. You maintain your Flex Plan funds and we issue the reimbursement checks from your bank account. With the Standard option, we send the checks to you for funding and distribution and with the Direct option, the checks are mailed directly to the employees. The check register and supporting reports are available to you online to record and reconcile the transactions.
Express Pay
Express Pay is even faster, with reimbursements issued to your employees daily by live check or direct deposit, at the choice of the employee. While you hold your Flex funds, the employer will provide an Advance Deposit from which we will pay benefits. The funds on deposit are refreshed regularly with transfers of funds from the employer to replenish the account for the payments issued to your participants.
Payroll Payments
Payroll Payments allows you the most control over your Flex Plan funds and reimbursements. About a week before your payday, we provide you with a file listing the reimbursements to be included in the upcoming payroll.
