Easily deploy ARPA funds
After being signed into law in 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act delivers relief funds directly to small and local governments. ARPA funds can be used for any number of administrative expenses, including payroll and benefit expenses for public employees. These include:
- public safety and public health employees
- healthcare workers
- first responders
- and others
Our physical and digital prepaid cards are an ideal way to deliver ARPA funding throughout your community. They’re faster to deploy than checks and a safer logistical option than distributing cash. Get started now: ARPA funds must be used by the end of 2024.
