Film production company pays contract workers via Visa Direct ERP card payouts

Film Productions is responsible for setting up the background for major films, and since they work in diverse locations, they employ a number of contract workers. Ronald is one of these contract workers and travels from his home in Illinois to a production set in Nevada. Ronald needs to receive an initial payment from Film Productions to cover his travel costs, and he is also dependent on receiving a real time payment at the end of his job because he has various business and personal bills to pay.

Setting Up

Film Productions leverages Visa Direct ERP Card Payouts by setting up Ronald in their ERP accounts payable system, which then sends Ronald an invitation email to enter his eligible debit card payment details.

Payment Request

Upon entry, Ronald’s card is tokenized and stored for future payouts. When Ronald’s job is completed, an account payable clerk from Film Productions logs into the ERP system and submits the payment request via Visa Direct ERP Card Payouts.

Real-Time Payment

The payment is routed from Film Production’s bank account to Ronald’s eligible debit card account in real-time¹. Ronald can now spend the money using his debit card or withdraw the money from his bank account as he pleases.
