"Making the jump from paper to paperless"
What do you like best about Branch?

We run payroll with paper checks daily; M-F, 8 A to 5 P. This encourages numerous disruptions and constant interruptions. By moving our payroll to the Branch card we can maintain daily payroll in a significantly more efficient manner, reduce supplies costs and minimize disruptions.

What do you dislike about Branch?

reconciling my bank account with both payroll withdrwals and the Branch debits in lump sum twice daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
