Tribal TANF Programs
Qualifying Individuals and families are issued reloadable Tribal TANF Visa Cards that are periodically loaded with funds to provide financial support until they attain self-sufficiency. The card use parameters can be customized to maintain adherence with TANF guidelines.
Employee Payroll
Tribes can issue payroll cards to employees without bank accounts, which eliminates the need to use paper checks, saves tribes money, provides employees with immediate access to their pay and eliminates check-cashing fees for unbanked employees.
Virtual Cards Delivered via Email:
Virtual cards are prepaid cards that are created virtually and delivered directly to the recipient's email address. The cards can be used for online or over the phone purchases. Because no physical card is created virtual cards are easier to implement & maintain for funds distribution.

“Convenient Cards has been great to work with! The integration of their products with our information systems has simplified what was once a cumbersome process into an automated process. In addition, now, for the first time, due to the cards’ merchant category spending controls, we can ensure that the funds are being spent for their intended purpose.”
