Small businesses now can take advantage of a Wachovia service, Wachovia At Work. Through the program, a business can offer a package of banking and investment services to its employees to help them save time and money. The business incurs no expense to offer the service and does not have to commit staff resources to manage the program at its location. The Wachovia At Work service has been offered to companies with more than 50 employees since 1988. At the request of a number of small businesses, it now is available to companies with as few as 15 employees.
Employees choose the services that fit their individual needs.
The package includes a special Wachovia At Work checking account that provides a Wachovia At Work Check Card with no monthly fee for at least 12 months. Other benefits are a first order of checks at no charge, a standard safe deposit box for one year with no rental fee and special rates on loans, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. When company benefits include conveniences that allow employees to save both time and money, ties between the employees and the company are strengthened. The program is particularly suited to small businesses in manufacturing, professional and technology industries. Wachovia At Work benefits the employer and the employee.
