The Metavante Flex Benefits Card system allows employees to directly access their flexible benefit plan pre-tax funds with the simple swipe of a card. This system provides significant benefits for everyone involved in the program: administrators, employers, and employees. Flexible Benefit Cards may be used for Section 125 Cafeteria Plans, Section 132 Transit Plans, Section 105 Defined Benefit Plans and Qualified Tuition Reimbursement Plans.

Metavante Flex Benefits Cardlooks like a typical credit or debit card, and is issued under the MasterCard® system. However, the card is only accepted at specific types of merchant or provider locations as defined by merchant category codes ("MCCs"). This ensures that employees are only able to pay for eligible expenses wherever MasterCard® is accepted-from physician and dental offices to pharmacies and vision service locations.
