Employers are always looking at ways to attract and retain the best employees. Helping employees reach their financial goals is one such way. And, it doesn’t have to be an expensive endeavor or a burden to staff to create a sense of financial wellness within the company culture.
A recent survey found that a staggering 43% of employees responding had less than $400 in savings. Another report showed 80% of respondents do not have six months of expenses saved. With these frightening facts, it’s evident employers have an opportunity to build trust with employees by helping reach their savings goals.
Surcharge-Free ATM as an Employee Benefit
One very simple, inexpensive way to do that is to place a surcharge-free ATM on-site. The average ATM surcharge in the US is $4.68 and could be higher for employees using an out of network ATM. These fees can add up without the employee realizing it. For example, an employee withdrawing cash at an ATM eight times per month, on average, pays $37.44 or more in fees.
Putting a surcharge-free ATM in the workplace is one solution a number of companies are implementing. Not only is it a way for employers to help their staff save more of their hard earned paycheck but it is also safe and convenient.
With a variety of surcharge-free ATM programs available, providing staff with the added benefit of convenient cash access at work has never been easier and in most cases is completely free to the company. It is also hassle free – with ATMatWork staff owning the hardware, handling installation and regular maintenance, and loading cash on a weekly basis.
For companies that choose to partner with a local credit union or community bank, the financial institution will provide financial education in the form of brochures, on-screen ads, classes or on-site seminars during lunch breaks and be available to answer questions.
