This is one of the smartest things for the world, imagine the paper savings. From my personal experience 90%+ of workers already have direct deposit, with no need for check stubs. I use to have 60 associates and 3 actually received a live check and eveyone that had direct deposit could care less if they received there stub, if they needed it for something they could print it online.

I think it's a great idea, provided that the debit card can be used over again as more funds are added. It should be similar to the debit card provided when you have a bank account.
