82% of U.S. workers are now paid via direct deposit, up from 74% in 2011.

Workers have a positive opinion on the service: 87% satisfaction, 83% feel it's safer than paper checks, and 73% say it helps them pay bills on time.

For non-users of direct deposit, 37% of them say it's simply not offered. That's a gap employers can close.

Direct deposit adoption is now at 82%, and the businesses still not offering it are leaving satisfaction, retention, and efficiency on the table.

Big news for employers offering flexible health benefits: ICHRA has a new name.

CMS and SBA just unveiled that ICHRA has been officially rebranded to "CHOICE Arrangement."

Same tax-advantaged model, bigger federal spotlight on helping small businesses offer real health coverage options.

If your organization offers (or is considering) CHOICE, this is worth a read:

We've supported ICHRA payment infrastructure since its initial inception, and it's encouraging to see the model gain this level of recognition.

For gateways, ACH processing seems like a simple payment rail to incorporate.

It's cheaper than card payments, widely adopted, and increasingly demanded by merchants.

But “cheaper” doesn’t always mean more efficient. Many ACH solutions come with hidden costs that quietly eat into margins and add stress to operations.

Learn what's behind these costs and how to eliminate them: https://t.co/JqC3GjbVem
