Description

NYSIF is requesting information from qualified firms about digital payment services for its payees. Solutions should enable workers’ compensation payees to receive benefit payments quickly and securely without requiring a bank account or charging fees to the payee. NYSIF is technology-neutral, and the solutions would complement its existing direct deposit and paper check methods. No contract award will result directly from this RFI; NYSIF may use responses in a future procurement, but is not obligated to issue an RFP.
