Since 2004, TFG has helped over 1,000 employers increase direct deposit by providing customizable options, and a true value paycard alternative to the costly paper check.  TFG's solutions help businesses across all industries cut costs associated with paper payroll processes, and provide their employees with a more efficient, real-time payday. Together with TFG, TALX will offer an integrated paycard solution that complements automated payroll for a truly paperless end-to-end solution.

"TFG's reputation for delivering superior customer service and true value prepaid services is unmatched.  TALX is pleased to be working with TFG, and to help our clients remove the paper from their processes across the board," commented Dann Adams, President of TALX. "With this strategic partnership, TALX continues to bring innovation and efficiency to companies, and to help employees gain universal access to their pay and payroll data."

Helping organizations cut costs and streamline operations, TALX is a leader in Paperless Pay and Compliance. TALX automated payroll focuses on replacing slow, paper-based, manual processes with automated self-service options, so that clients can deliver more efficient services to their employees. With TALX Paperless Pay, employees can review and update their payroll information – including paystubs, state and federal W-4s and direct deposit options – from the web or phone.  With the inclusion of prepaid services, companies can offer their employees the flexibility of a direct deposit paycard and completely remove paper and its related administrative and distribution costs from the process.  

"We are proud to act as a TALX partner and look forward to enhancing our mutual client relationships by continuing to provide organizations of all sizes with the outstanding level of service upon which both of our organizations have been built," said Burke A. Rice, Executive Vice President of TFG Card Solutions. "As a company that is singularly focused on the payroll card industry, we remain focused on our core principles of helping employer clients realize cost savings by providing their unbanked employees with a tremendous benefit supported by exceptional service."
