| 1 | 2004 | 6000 | Employers are cutting costs and easing management of non-banking employees through prepaid cards that allow employees to access paychecks, cash bonuses and flexible spending accounts, even insurance payouts. This cuts administrative, processing and distribution costs significantly. U-Haul will save a half a million dollars a year by moving away from paper paychecks.
