Recognize supports over 150 gift cards for redemption by your staff, exchanging points earned from recognitions received for those rewards you've enabled!
Depositing Funds to your Rewards Bank
1. Recognize does not charge a fee per redemption. There is a deposit fee of 5% for credit cards and a $30 deposit fee for ACH Pull. Check and ACH Push deposit options have no associated fee. Beyond that, 100% of the money deposited into the system goes to your gift cards. If a user redeems a $5 gift card, they get a $5 gift card, and there is no fee to the company.
2. You transfer the money to us, we place it in a holding account, and it is your money until redeemed.
Fees for depositing:
| ACH (push)* | FREE | (Recommended, takes 24-48 hours) |
| ACH (pull)* | $30 | (Takes 5 business days) |
| Wire transfer | $16 | (Takes up to 24 hours) |
| Checks | FREE | (Could take several weeks to receive) |
| Credit/Debit cards | 5% | (Usually immediate) |
Push - Transaction is initiated and funds are transferred from your sending account — you are pushing the money into the destination account.
Pull - Transaction is initiated and funds are transferred from the receiving account — you are pulling the money in from the source account.
3. There is a minimum deposit amount of $1000
