Payroll Options

Yes. You will receive a com data card which will be the regular method of payment until you add direct deposit. It can take 2 weeks to implement the did.

 

No worries. Been there lol.

 

I think that you can still split your pay between both the bank and comdata card

 

If I'm not mistaken you can transfer money to your bank account with the comm data card. The down side to the comm data card is (I'm told) you only get two free transactions per pay period then you have a small fee after that, but if you write yourself a comm check for your entire paycheck and just deal with cash you can avoid the fee.

 

You can still split your money any way you want it. You can add a little on the Commdata card and can even have the remaining split up into more than one bank account.

 

that depends on your bank and if they will allow it. I know that mine will not for some reason.

 

Most truck stops will cash a Comchek up to a couple hundred dollars for no fee with fuel purchase.

Walmart accepts Comdata as a debit card, and you can get up to $200 cash back with each purchase. I'm not sure if the "two free per payday" applies to debit transactions.

Since you are in Jonestown, you may want to consider getting a PNC checking account. PNC is being very aggressive in putting their ATMs all over the place. Sheetz recently switched to PNC, and Wawa has been PNC. (Most Wawa stores do have a couple of truck-friendly spaces.) Half the rest areas on the New Jersey Turnpike have PNC ATMs; they must be raking in a fortune on the service charges for non-PNC users.
