Reduce Payroll Costs, Increase Employee Loyalty With the Skylight® PayOptionsTM Program Not all employees have — or want — a traditional bank account. But paper checks can be costly, time consuming, and inconvenient. The Skylight PayOptions Program is the perfect alternative, and everyone is eligible, regardless of credit history.1 Best of all? The program costs you nothing to implement and has no enrollment or monthly maintenance fees! Visit the Paychex booth #1817 to learn more about the Skylight PayOptions Program and for a chance to win $100!
1 There is no credit approval process for the Skylight PayOptions Program. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW CARD ACCOUNT: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens a Card Account. What this means for you: When you open a Card Account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents. In accordance with federal regulations, until it is activated and registered, a prepaid card is subject to initial load limitations, may not be used for ATM use, international transactions, account-to-account transfers, or be reloaded. 2 Skylight does not charge for this service, but your wireless carrier may charge you for messages or data. 3 By activating and using a Skylight Card, your participation in the rewards program is automatically activated. You may opt-out at any time by visiting your Rewards Summary Page at your Online Account Center at www.skylightpaycard. com. The reward offers we choose and send to you are based on your shopping habits. We will not share any personal information about you with the merchants who sponsor offers. When you activate an offer and make a purchase with the card, the merchant will not know you are a rewards program customer, but you will become their customer. For

Simplicity – Setting up a Skylight account for direct deposit is as easy as setting up a traditional bank account.
Value – Employees have convenient access to their funds, with the ability to obtain their entire pay at no cost through multiple channels using their Skylight ONE® Prepaid MasterCard®.
Flexibility – The Paycard can be used for purchases anywhere Debit MasterCard is accepted — at stores, restaurants, online, and even for online bill pay with no fees.
Employee Satisfaction – Employees will have convenient account access via text message, Web, and mobile,2 as well as a rewards program,3 budgeting tools, and online bill payment.4
more details about how and when you get rewarded, see the program FAQs, terms and conditions in your Online Account Center. Cash back rewards are credited to your Card Account and are not available in the form of a check or other direct payment method. Program sponsor: Skylight Financial Inc. and BofI Federal Bank are not affiliated with the program and neither endorses nor sponsors it. 4 In addition to a no cost option, employees may visit the Online Account Center for a range of options including expedited services available for a fee through third-party service providers. The Skylight ONE Prepaid MasterCard is issued by BofI Federal Bank pursuant to a license by MasterCard International Incorporated. BofI Federal Bank, Member FDIC. Skylight Financial, Inc., a TSYS® Company, is a registered agent of BofI Federal Bank. Certain products and services may be licensed under U.S. Patent Nos. 6,000,608 and 6,189,787.
