Schedule a Check-up for Your Financial Life

May 5, 2017 by rapid! PayCard

Most of us are diligent about maintaining the various aspects of our life. We swap out the batteries on our smoke detectors with regularity; we schedule annual physicals, and get our car’s oil changed based on the manufacturer’s mileage recommendation. Still, many of us tend to take better care of our cars than we do our financial life. The irony being, an un-tended financial life can break down just as assuredly as an under-serviced automobile. It can run out of gas, but it can also seize up and need a roadside tow. In short, a well-examined financial life is worth exploring. 1. Schedule. Set a recurring point in time for… Read More

National Teach Children to Save Day

April 24, 2017 by rapid! PayCard

Like any company that provides technology to make life easier, we examine the millennial demographic. They are the population sector interested in options – from ways to communicate, to ways to bank. In their April 2016, article, Pew Research Center cited estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau that millennials have now “surpassed Baby Boomers as the nation’s largest living generation”. A powerful consumer force, the members of this group are working “real jobs” and building careers. They are open to alternatives. They also need them as they don’t typically comply with traditional banking methods. Per rapid! PayCard’s October 2016 article about banking options for millennials and the flexibility of getting… Read More

The Financial Mistakes Women Make

January 13, 2017 by rapid! PayCard

Not planning early enough for retirement and neglecting to have three months of expenses saved is something of which both men and women are guilty. In everyone’s defense, it is often challenging to have the time and the perspective to map out our financial lives. Difficult too, is the ability to allocate income to investments when the unexpected job loss occurs. Being prepared for eventualities takes dedication. While being negligent about securing finances for the future knows no gender-bias, women in particular are vulnerable when it comes to their financial lives. Some aspects are errors on their part, but many are due to elements out of their control. In an… Read More

Even The Treasury Department Has An App for That!

November 9, 2016 by rapid! PayCard

Technology. We rely on it. But we don’t always realize how much until we are caught without our phone charger, or even worse…experience a WIFI failure. We use our smartphones to manage everything – from the best travel routes to appointments, to shopping, to reading. Our devices include a personal, voice-activated assistant who can identify the proximity of the nearest Burger King. Smartphones even give us our banking access. There is no waiting until the next business day to deposit paper checks. An app provided by your financial institution and permission to access your phone’s camera makes the addition of those funds to your account as simple as taking a… Read More

How to Bank in a Financial Desert

October 26, 2016 by rapid! PayCard

We all take things for granted. Sometimes it is our talent or even our loved ones. Human nature perhaps. The times that we don’t take things for granted are when they are unattainable. In some neighborhoods, there are conveniences to which we don’t give a second thought. If for example, you forget to swing by your bank on the way out to run errands, there is typically another automated teller or drive-through in which to take care of business. In other words, options. But what if you lived in a financial desert? Neighborhoods bereft of easy and affordable access to a banking institution need solutions. According to Clayola Brown, President… Read More

Banking Options for Millennials

October 14, 2016 by rapid! PayCard

We are a mobile society driven in large part by our much-talked-about millennial generation. With the world literally at their fingertips, they seem comparatively fearless in relation to their older counterparts and are a slice of the market solicited to by advertisers and Hollywood – from energy drinks to movies. Their opinion matters. Millennials are even impacting some real estate markets as they are buying property earlier and for different reasons than their parents did. They are not living in the same home for 30 years – they are buying townhomes and condos near work and within easy distance from metro areas. They are also buying them as single people… Read More
