    for enhancing the quality of life throughout
    Chicago.
  • CPD wanted to decrease the payroll expense
    related to delivering checks and reduce the
    expense for employees to access their pay
  • Citi Prepaid Solution
  • A customized Citi Prepaid Program helped the
    CPD significantly reduce employer costs
    associated with payroll expenses, as well as
    reduce banking expenses for the employee.
  • Results
  • From the start, we had confidence in Citis
    ability to implement the solution. Citi assured
    us that implementation and adoption of their
    payroll card program would be transparent not
    only was Citi able to seamlessly work with our
    existing Oracle payroll system, the pay card
    implementation did not create additional or
    extensive work for the payroll manager or our
    employees.
