“I didn’t know what kind of utilization or engagement we would have, and it started out slowly,” says Bronzati. “But now we see quite a bit of usage; these are hourly workers who work paycheck to paycheck, and it really makes a difference,”

“I love how you have the QR code which makes it really easy to give to employees to get started. They scan the code and it takes them directly into the app, which has made things very easy,”

“They can start getting paid right away...and there aren't fees associated with that. It's a huge win for our people because every few dollars makes a difference.”

“Branch was capable of doing everything we were looking for.”

““Our Operations Manager was having to constantly figure out if we had enough checks, then see if someone had been to the bank, and reconcile the till at the end of the day. Now, it’s been 1000% easier. I run Branch for the barbershops and it takes me maybe seven minutes every morning.””

““Especially at the restaurant, the younger employees prefer [getting their tips on] the debit card. They’re not used to cash anymore; that’s the way things are moving. Nobody had an issue making the transition…it was just a matter of explaining how they would be getting their tips pushed to a debit card and account each day.””

““I knew there had to be a better option,” says Hayden.”

““We were doing payouts in cash, and three or four people had their hands in the till every day,” says Hayden. “The till was always over or short, and someone always had to run to the bank to make change or cash a check.””

““My wife, (who is the General Manager of Hurricane Grill) was originally going to the bank three times a week to get change to make those daily payouts. With Branch, it’s just automatic and in employees’ accounts the next day.””

““Building that loyalty without adding additional costs is crucial for businesses that want to see accelerated growth in the years to come—and Branch’s fee-free options make that possible.””

““Providing a faster, more seamless payments experience through Branch helps us attract and empower the best independent drivers in an increasingly competitive market, offering more career options than ever””

“With our previous solution, that would have gone through. Branch stopped it immediately. That threshold alone is huge.”

“The stress of having to worry about approving a wire is gone. I can go on vacation or take a day off and not worry about funding an account. The process is simple now; Branch has made it super fast and easy for us.”

“There was a time during the integration process [with our previous provider] where we were struggling a lot to connect with anyone—it was very difficult,”

“I think that’s the best feedback ever, and a testament to its usability. Some of these individuals don’t speak English as their first language, or maybe they’re not the most technology proficient, and they’re utilizing it with zero trouble.”

“Being able to offer same-week pay with the push of a button is huge,” says Hogan, “and we’re eventually going to offer same-day pay, too. It’s a massive advantage for our on-demand workforce.”

“With Branch, it’s been very smooth. I really admire and adore Anna [our account manager]. She knows everything; if I’ve had any questions, she answers them right away.”

“We love the fact that it’s so easy to use. I tell Archana that someone worked for a certain number of hours, we push the payout, and it just works ,”

“We really wanted a platform that was easy to use and easy to understand—and that’s where Branch came in,”

“When it came to our previous provider, you couldn’t talk to a human being. We didn’t get an integrator or an account manager. And that’s been the difference with Branch—because when I need somebody, I can talk to a real person to help us figure things out.”

““The other solutions we looked at had cap limits on what [workers] could transfer,” says Simpson. “For some of our nurses, their check might be $500 per shift, and they want to transfer all of it if they can. If the other solutions had caps of $200 a day, that wasn’t going to work for our staff.””

““We wanted to leave Friday afternoons on a good note, not having to field complaints because people were waiting for their money,” Simpson says. “So we started looking at other options.””

““With our previous provider, it was just non-stop frustration, both for us and for our temps,””

““I’ve heard nothing but great comments on how much simpler this solution is than our previous solution,” says Norris. “Now, we get to reclaim our Friday afternoons.””

““We can now issue a replacement check in literally two seconds if we need to,” says Simpson. “We don’t have to wait for the bank to return the direct deposit and go through all of those manual steps.””
