Commuter Benefit
In the spirit of being environmentally friendly and helping you save money on your monthly commuting expenses, Banfield offers a Commuter Accounts Program.How It Works
Plan : Estimate your out-of-pocket commuter expenses when it’s time to enroll
Spend : Pay for your eligible commuter expenses using your debit card, tax-free
Collect : If you didn’t use your debit card to pay for eligible expenses, request reimbursement from VIA Benefits
Save : Put a little extra cash in your pocket because you gave yourself a little pay raise by using the Commuter Account!
Key Features
You can contribute up to $300 per month to pay for eligible expenses for the year.
You must enroll by the 20th of the month to begin participation for the next month.
Banfield will deduct your contributions from your paycheck before federal taxes are applied.
If you need more than the pre-tax limit to cover your monthly commuting costs, you can link a personal bank account when signing up, offering an easy and convenient way to pay for all commuting expenses with the Via Benefits debit card.
Money is available for use as contributions are made, whether as pre-tax contributions from a paycheck or post-tax deposits from another bank account.
You can set up, pause or make changes to your contributions at any point throughout the year through the Via Benefits Accounts mobile app.
As long as you remain employed with Banfield, any unused money in your account carries over each month.
This program allows Associates to set aside pre-tax dollars for qualified transit, vanpooling and parking expenses.
