What is PayCode®?

PayCode® is a unique new high frequency payroll payment processing system that can completely eliminate costly cheque payments to employees – even un-banked employees – saving time and money for both your business AND your employees.  

PayCode® converts your cheque payments to electronic payments while providing your employees with easier, quicker and more convenient access to their net payroll funds, eliminating a trip to the nearest bank or ATM on payday, and avoiding the stress of a bank ‘hold’ on funds deposited by cheque.

  • PayCode® Cash provides your employees with on-site cash payments of their net payroll funds, using our proprietary PayCode® Cash Kiosk/ATM.
  • PayCode® eTransfer can provide your employees with same-day eTransfer payments direct to their bank accounts, initiated directly from your payroll system.  PayCode® eTransfer uses the Interac® Bulk eTransfer payment system to process your payments without the need to login to your own bank’s online banking or online cash management systems.
Who uses PayCode®?

PayCode® Cash works particularly well for un-banked daily-pay temporary labour employees, providing them with instant access to cash funds as an alternative to taking a cheque to a 3rd party cheque-cashing service.

Employees with established bank accounts can choose to be paid by PayCode® eTransfer, providing them with same-day access to their net pay funds in their bank account.

The PayCode Cash Kiosk/ATM

How does PayCode® Cash work?

PayCode® places a secure Kiosk/ATM at the employer’s place of business where your employees get paid.  Instead of issuing a cheque payment to your employees, PayCode® Cash enables you to pay your employees their net pay as a cash payment dispensed from the on-site Kiosk/ATM.  

Each PayCode® Cash payroll payment generates a unique one-time use QR code (aka “PayCode®“) that is printed on the employee’s payroll statement of earnings and deductions.  The employee then simply scans the QR code at the PayCode® Cash Kiosk/ATM located at the branch, and instantly obtain cash funds for their net pay amount! 

PayCode® Cash and PayCode® eTransfer have both been designed to integrate seamlessly with the ELF.online payroll system to quickly and efficiently transfer funds via a secure electronic transaction from a pre-funded employer PayCode® account to the PayCode® account of the employee, or to the Interac® Bulk eTransfer processing system.  

Less time, Less cost, Real Value!

Imagine. No more printing and signing of cheques, no more telephone calls from 3rd party cheque-cashing services to confirm details of cheques issued to employees, no more monthly reconciliations of outstanding un-cleared cheques, no more stop payments on lost or stolen cheques, no more fighting with the bank over duplicate-paid cheques (e-Deposit + 3rd party cashed), no more costly and time-consuming ‘positive-pay’ cheque-clearing services required from your bank, no more ordering of costly pre-printed secure cheque stock, no more worrying about storing and securing access to pre-printed cheque stock, no more cheque fraud!
