"Branch is great for employees without bank accounts."

5/5

What do you like best about Branch?

Having Branch as an alternative pay option to live checks is great to have. Some employees don't have a bank account when they start with us so having something for them to utilize right away during onboarding is great. Branch also offering same day pay is just icing on the cake. Setting up the required reports was fairly easy to do and they give you the information needed for each payroll. All we need to do is import a file into payroll each week and we're done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Branch?

We haven't run into any issues yet. As of the time of this review there are fees for using the same day pay feature if you don't have a Branch card, but that is expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Branch, writing paper checks for payroll is a thing of the past. Everyone starts with a bank account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It hasn't been the most straightforward to set up, but after our store managers have helped a few employees set up their account, they are all fast becoming experts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Branch?

After eight months of using the Branch platform, I really haven't come across any downsides or disadvantages to our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Branch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Branch took the place of our previous pay card for those employees that didn't have established bank accounts. With Branch, funds are deposited on the employee's Branch card, and they have the ability to use it as a debit card and are not charged a transaction fee. Employees also have access to a budgeting tool on the Branch platform as well as requesting an advance on their paycheck for hours already worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
