The two companies launched a new payment method that enables salary payments direct to employees’ debit or credit cards, tapping Visa’s real-time push payment platform Visa Direct.

Visa Direct utilises the payment provider’s global network to facilitate fast digital payments globally. It also offers security and compliance controls.
Pay-to-card transactions are carried out through Visa Direct to any 16-digit debit or credit card number (PAN).
Visa Direct’s single point of connection is claimed to help employers send out payments faster to employees.
Moreover, employees can use CloudPay NOW, an app connected to Visa Direct, to make pay-to-card payments from their earned wages, before their salary is credited.
