USHCC Supports PaycardUSA as it Offers Hispanic Workers the La Moneda Card Prepaid MasterCard(R)

Tomas — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:31:43 +0000

"The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) proudly announces its support of a new PaycardUSA program that will offer its business members the convenience of paying their workers through the La Moneda (The Coin) Card Prepaid MasterCard.

"As a business owner in the construction industry we employ hundreds of Hispanic workers. I was so excited when we discovered how the PaycardUSA payroll cards worked for us and our workers, our company invested in PaycardUSA. We are honored to be endorsed as the USHCC payroll card and will work diligently to keep bringing critical financial services to workers -- using the card as the registration and payment vehicle." James Hammer, owner WestCor Construction & PaycardUSA.

The La Moneda Card is essentially a prepaid MasterCard card, allowing workers to avoid check cashing lines and fees and offering key benefits such as:

-- Easy on-line bill pay
-- State of the art mCash mobile commerce application
-- The ability to purchase special discounted goods and services
-- Additional cards can be ordered for other family members, allowing the employee to move funds to the family card. No more wiring fees to send family members money or having to send cash with family members on vacation.
-- Workers have the freedom to rent movies, purchase online, or make everyday purchases without having to walk around with a lot of cash.

"The USHCC is proud to support PaycardUSA as it provides our business members with a system that will truly meet the most pressing needs of Hispanic workers," said Elizabeth Gallagher, USHCC Vice-Chair. "The La Moneda Card Prepaid MasterCard is the preferred solution for our business members' Hispanic workforce and we recommend the card for any worker."

A Paycard saves small and medium size businesses both time and money as it is less costly to pay workers through a Paycard than paper checks. As a modern twist for "pay day," it is a much more efficient and safer way for employees to receive their paycheck.

"It is costly for employers to pay workers by writing checks, money that businesses can save using the Paycard," said Rafael Sanchez, USHCC Board Finance Chair. "The ROI calculator website feature is an easy tool that will allow you to calculate your savings per employee per year based on check printing and bookkeeping."

For more information on the partnership and the La Moneda Card Prepaid MasterCard program, please visit http://www.paycardusa.net/lamonedacard or http://www.ushcc.com .

Founded in 1979, the USHCC actively promotes the economic growth and development of Hispanic entrepreneurs and represents the interests of more than 2.5 million Hispanic-owned businesses in the United States that generate more than $388 billion annually.

"The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC), the leading advocate for the more than 2.5 million Hispanic-owned businesses in the United States, proudly welcomes Dale A. Crowell as the organization's new Director of Communications. Crowell brings to the USHCC more than 13 years of experience working in media and public relations, public affairs, project management, brand management, and international development.

"We are very pleased to welcome Dale into the USHCC family," said USHCC Chairman David C. Lizárraga. "His experience with the national and local media as well as legislators and other public officials will be an invaluable asset to our organization. He and his team will play a key role as we promote exciting new partnerships, upcoming national events, and other programs and initiatives."

Most recently, Crowell served as Director of Public Relations for Bethesda, Maryland-based Honest Tea, the nation's best-selling organic bottled tea company. While there, he helped the company greatly increase its earned media exposure in leading consumer outlets, trade publications, national daily newspapers, television and radio shows, and web-based media. Before Honest Tea, Crowell was the Director of Communications and Public Outreach for the Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) where he managed overall communications and outreach initiatives for projects and field offices in seven countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. At PADF, Crowell also conducted outreach and developed relationships with members of Congress, corporate donors, public officials, partner organizations, and media outlets. He has also served as the Director of Communications for the Office of Congressman José E. Serrano [D-NY].

"I am delighted to join the USHCC. This organization's history and reputation speak for themselves and as the new Director of Communications I intend to keep that tradition moving forward," stated Dale Crowell. "I am proud of the confidence that both David Lizárraga and Augustine Martinez have expressed in me and look forward to working with the entire team to promote the Chamber to an even wider audience," he added.

As Director of Communications for the USHCC, Crowell is responsible for all Internal and External Communications and for developing and implementing the Chamber's communications strategy. In this key role, Crowell also serves as key Editorial Board member for USHCC's award-winning TV program, Hispanics Today, and a subscriber publication, Hispanic Enterprise Magazine.

"An excellent communicator, fluent in English and Spanish, Crowell has the necessary experience and proven track record to lead our Communications Team," said Augustine Martinez, USHCC President and CEO. "In addition to his professional success, Crowell's passion for working with the Hispanic community makes him a perfect addition to our staff."

Crowell, of Puerto Rican heritage, lives in Maryland with his family. Crowell attended graduate courses at Georgetown University, Latin American Studies Master's Program, focused on US foreign policy and Inter-American relations. He graduated from the University of Maryland at College Park with a Bachelor of Arts in Government and Politics with a concentration in International Studies and History.

"Marketwire, a full-service newswire and communications workflow solutions provider, today announces the debut of NoticiasDigitales, the newswire industry's first real-time business-to-consumer digital news service to publish Spanish-language news on Latin American websites.

"With the rapid growth of social media and 'citizen journalism,' the future of the newswire industry depends on leveraging new technologies to offer effective business-to-consumer news delivery solutions," commented Marketwire Vice President of Emerging Markets Hector Botero. "Ethnic, emerging and international markets represent enormous, untapped opportunities for an online digital news distribution service, and we are extremely excited to launch an industry first to our clients who target Spanish-speaking audiences."

A 30-day testing period revealed that between June 11 and July 11, 2008, Marketwire's NoticiasDigitales received more than 4 million total impressions from visitors in 21 countries. Thirty percent, or 1.2 million of those impressions came from visitors in Colombia, an economy growing at 6.8 percent a year (two full points faster than the Latin American average); 29 percent, or 1.18 million of the impressions were from the United States; 13 percent, or 520,000 impressions, came from visitors in Argentina, a country that has experienced four consecutive years of more than 8 percent growth in GDP; and 11 percent, or 431,000 impressions, came from Mexico, a country counting the United States as its largest trading partner.
