Payments from Jobble to the indi for Jobblers card can be made instantly.

"The gig economy has proven to be essential to the U.S. economy, and at Jobble, we are doing our part to ensure these workers are supported," Corey Bober, COO and co-founder of Jobble said. "In continuing our mission of supporting the everyday hustle of all independent workers, Jobble is excited to work with indi on a banking solution that meets the specific needs of gig workers, freelancers, side hustlers and independent contractors across the country."

An indi for Jobblers account empowers independent workers by:

● Providing a straightforward and fast application process that does not impact their credit score;

● Keeping it simple with no fee to apply, no monthly service fee and no minimum balance requirement;

● Allowing them to manage their money on the go with convenient mobile banking;

● Creating a personalized Tax Savings Goal to help estimate the amount they should save for taxes;

● Enrolling them in the Mastercard® Easy Savings program for rebates¹ on everyday activities (available at participating merchants); and

● Offering advanced security features including Mastercard ID Theft ProtectionTM, Zero Liability, and Price Protection.

"Bringing indi and Jobble together in collaboration with Mastercard allows independent workers to browse job opportunities and find work that works for them, get paid quickly with Jobble Gigs, simplify their financial lives in the indi mobile app, and earn rebates at thousands of participating merchant locations nationwide with the Mastercard® Easy Savings program," said David Passavant, CEO of numo, the Pittsburgh-based incubator that developed indi.

"The gig economy requires solutions that are people-centric, technology-enabled and inclusive of all," said Sherri Haymond, executive vice president of Digital Partnerships at Mastercard. "In collaboration with PNC, indi for Jobblers not only empowers the gig economy through technology, but also effectively and meaningfully addresses the digital divide for a more inclusive future."
