Case Study: True Blue achieves $14.3M in savings and 75% electronic payroll with Global Cash Card

TrueBlue - Customer Case Study

True Blue (Labor Ready) is one of North America’s leading blue‑collar staffing firms with roughly 350,000 employees across 600 locations in all 50 states, Canada and Puerto Rico. Faced with a decentralized payroll and millions of paper check and cash payouts, True Blue wanted a low‑cost alternative to check cashing, convenient electronic pay and 24/7 electronic paystubs, and needed a nationwide paycard rollout that wouldn’t disrupt branch operations.

Global Cash Card delivered a phased, supported rollout—45+ webinars, branch marketing, customized cash‑back sheets, weekly field support and a 10‑wave deployment over three months—plus a real‑time API integration. Results: over 400,000 paycards issued by May 2014, 75% of payroll now electronic, elimination of 4,895,300 paper checks in 2013 (estimated savings of $14.34M), dramatic reductions in reissued checks/stop payments and elimination of escheatment; True Blue reported smooth implementation and service that exceeded expectations.
