Prepaid card processor eCommLink Inc. announced recently that Virtual Automated Technologies Inc. has hired the company to provide payroll card processing. Las Vegas-based ECommLink also will provide processing for prepaid cards that Virtual plans to use for marketing-commission payments, payday loans and consumer incentives, eCommLink says. Based in Portland, Ore., Virtual enables employers and employees to manage their payroll funds using cards, the company says. ECommLink is doing final processing tests with Virtual, Wally Wright, eCommLink vice president of sales, tells CardLine. "We're hoping to have most of the payroll [cards] on our platform by the end of the year," Wright says. Virtual has commitments for more than 200,000 payroll cards. ECommLink will process transactions initiated with those cards, Mike Busher, president of Virtual, tells CardLine.
