Fifty states, fifty different sets of rules regarding payroll card compliance.
That's a lot of information for businesses to track. So Womble Bond Dickinson FinTech attorneys Steve Middlebrook and Tom Kierner have created a new 50 State Payroll Card Compliance Map. The interactive, intuitive map provides up-to-date information on statutory law, regulations, legislation and agency guidance related to payroll cards for each state (plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico).
The map provides a summary of each state's payroll card requirements, including those related to:
- Wage Access
- Consent
- Fee Restrictions
- Disclosures
- Program Features.
The map is free and easy to use. Simply hover over a state to find out whether an employer may mandate the electronic receipt of wages, and click on a state to read about its payroll card requirements.

The Payroll Card Compliance Map is the first in a series of tools the firm's FinTech practice group plans to launch to assist clients in understanding state law as it applies to various FinTech products. Future tools will address privacy statutes, blockchain laws and gift card regulations.
