Are the people you pay waiting on their money?
Recipients can get access to funds within seconds on a reloadable virtual card they can add to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. They can also receive instant bank transfers through RTP + FedNow, or a physical card.
Slow or confusing payouts come back to your team
When people wait on a payment, can't work out how to use it, or can't reach anyone when something goes wrong, they contact you. Or they stop showing up.
GiveCard is built for organizations that pay people, and for the people on the receiving end.
A payout that works the first time
Paid within seconds
Recipients can get access to funds within seconds, so they aren't left waiting on their money.
Card or bank account

No bank account needed
Recipients who don't have a bank account can still receive and use a GiveCard.
Accepted across the US
Recipients can use it anywhere in the US that takes Visa debit.

How organizations are using GiveCard
UChicago pays study participants within seconds of each survey
Staff at Chapin Hall used to check survey completions daily and trigger each payment by hand. With GiveCard's REDCap integration, participants received their payments within seconds of completing a survey, which improved engagement and made sure they were paid promptly for their time. Payments now go out from their survey system with no manual work.
“GiveCard has allowed us to automate survey payment for survey completion, ensuring our participants get paid in a timely manner for their contributions to research.”
Dr. Sara Semborski, University of Chicago
El Monte ran guaranteed income payouts on a schedule
The city ran its guaranteed income program on GiveCard Automations. Each participant's card was set up with recurring monthly loads, so payouts went out reliably and on time without staff stepping in every month.
“We needed partners that provided the robust reporting we needed to assess this program accurately and to do so in a way that provided dignity and empowerment to program participants... GiveCard delivered massively.”
Jessica Medina, Management Analyst, City of El Monte
