Hey! This article is about a time before June 2020 when the SOLE card was operational.
A leader in the payroll card industry, SOLE Financial was known for offering payroll cards that enable quick and affordable wage access for workers. The company was at the forefront of the paycard movement and helped employers eliminate paper paychecks with direct deposit participation.
With Visa and The Axiom Bank, SOLE Financial had made significant efforts to create a world-class paycard operation.
The SOLE Financial company was acquired by Comdata in 2019. Comdata is a payment processor and issuer of spend cards, fleet fuel cards, trucking permits, paperless payroll cards or paycards, and virtual payments.
If you have recently received your SOLE paycard, make sure you activate it at solepaycard.com/activate. Only after activating the paycard you can make the most out of it.
Note: Unfortunately, the company is no longer operational for the services.
