“With the majority of today’s workforce living paycheck to paycheck, employees need equitable financial services that can improve their financial health and help them save for a secure future,” said Atif Siddiqi, Founder and CEO of Branch. “An important part of that is giving them ready access to their hard-earned cash without burdening them with ATM fees.”
Employers provide Branch as a free financial wellness benefit that helps employees better address their day-to-day financial needs.
