The Social Assistance Challenge

 

Costs of paper-based payments distribution

 

When it comes to social assistance payments, many government agencies are challenged to achieve 100% electronic benefit distribution due to low direct deposit participation among benefit recipients. The reasons for this often include transient demographics, or serving “unbanked” citizens. 

 

As a result, government agencies face inflated administrative costs and decreased efficiencies due to paper-based check production and distribution, while social assistance recipients typically rely on expensive check cashing services to obtain their funds, which erodes much of the benefit that is rightfully theirs.

 

 

The hyperWALLET Solution

 

 

Payment Solutions for Government Agencies

 

hyperWALLET provides comprehensive electronic benefit distribution solutions for governments that address:

 

  • Unbanked payments: Solutions for governments that are challenged with making payments to constituents who lack access to traditional financial services (unbanked)
  • Pension & international payments: Solutions for governments that must send pension and other payment types to expatriate citizens around the globe

 

 

 

Facilitating Payments to Social Assistance Recipients

 

 

 

PAYlution Visa Prepaid Card

   

The hyperWALLET platform allows your government agency to:

 

  • Pay social assistance recipients using pre-loaded debit cards rather than paper checks, giving social assistance recipients a more convenient, secure, and cost-effective way to receive their benefit payments. 

 

  • Enable recipients to access benefit payments via ATM/Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals in a secured environment, and redeem payments in amounts and frequencies that make sense for them during all benefit periods. 

 

 

 

Multi-channel funds access

 

To help recipients better manage their payments, hyperWALLET provides registered cardholders with a variety of account access methods, including:

 

  • Phone/IVR (Interactive Voice Response)
  • Mobile (WAP, SMS, voice, iPhone)
  • Online (website)

 

 

Prepaid Card convenience

 

One of the major benefits of prepaid cards is that they do not allow benefit cardholders to get into debt, as only transactions up to the balance loaded onto the prepaid account will be authorized at the time of the transaction. 

 

Since funds are loaded into a Prepaid account (and not onto a credit card), there are no interest charges, late payment or over limit fees. In actual fact, beneficiaries don’t even need to be 18 to apply for one!

 

 

International Pension Payments

 

Cost-effective global payments distribution

 

For government agencies that have pension payment obligations to citizens residing out of the country, the hyperWALLET payment distribution platform and integrated banking settlement networks around the world provide an efficient, cost-effective, and beneficiary-friendly payment service.   

 

With hyperWALLET, governments can:

 

 

 

hyperWALLET's Global Payments Reach

   

 

  • Load payments in multiple currencies to the hyperWALLET platform for instant payment distribution to international beneficiaries. 

  • Give international recipients global access to their funds by enabling them to transfer funds directly from their pension account into their domestic bank account, and access those funds with their regular bank-issued debit card.

  • Eliminate expensive wire transfers that incur landing fees for the recipient in international markets, as hyperWALLET submits payments in native currencies on domestic payment networks.
