International Money Express, Inc., a leading money remittance provider, has expanded its Payroll Card Program in partnership with Central Payments, enabling U.S. employers to digitize payroll at no cost. This initiative eliminates paper checks and cash handling, offering employees secure, instant access to wages and the digital economy.
Intermex’s expanded Payroll Card Program allows U.S. employers to transition to digital payroll disbursement, eliminating the operational burdens of issuing paper checks or handling cash. This no-cost solution streamlines payroll processes, enabling businesses to operate efficiently while providing employees with immediate access to their earnings.
“Employers carry a huge operational burden when running payroll with cash and checks. At Intermex, we can eliminate this in just days by digitizing the disbursement process at no cost for employers or employees,” said Marcelo Theodoro, Chief Digital, Product and Marketing Officer for Intermex. “Employees paid by check are often excluded from the digital economy and may incur significant fees to cash their wages. Adopting the Intermex Payroll Program provides an economic opportunity and a new level of care for employees.”
A key feature of the program is the introduction of no-fee international wire transfers, accessible directly through the Intermex mobile app and web platform. This allows employees to send money to over 60 countries without transfer costs, reducing reliance on expensive check-cashing services and enhancing access to trusted financial tools.
“By combining payroll and remittance services, Intermex Digital delivers a convenient and cost-effective solution for our consumers,” added Theodoro. “This innovation reflects our vision of financial inclusion, helping employees and their families reduce costs and expand access to trusted financial tools.”
The partnership with Central Payments integrates payroll, payments, and remittances into a seamless digital experience. This collaboration empowers employees by providing cost-effective, accessible financial solutions, aligning with Intermex’s mission of financial inclusion across Latin America, the Caribbean, and beyond.
“Together with Intermex, we’re bridging payroll, payments, and remittances into one seamless digital experience. This partnership empowers employees and their families by reducing costs and expanding access to financial tools they can trust,” said Eric Cotton, Central Payments President and Chief Payments Officer.
The no-fee wire feature underscores the program’s potential to save families money and expand financial access anytime, anywhere, reinforcing Intermex’s role as a leader in digital remittance solutions.
