Spanish term or phrase: Tarjeta de salario
Hi! I am translating a criminal complaint from Argentina. The term "tarjeta de salario" appears in the following phrase describing the contents of a stolen wallet: "dos billeteras, una de color marrón que en su interior contenía....dos tarjetas de Débito del banco [redacted] y la tarjeta de salario de la misma entidad Bancaria...

I'm not sure if tarjeta de salario in this context refers to a card used to remove money from a savings account, or if it refers to a benefits card (which is what the term would mostly likely mean in Mexico, but that I can't figure out if it has that meaning in this context). I'm leaning towards either translating it literally as salary card, but that has no meaning to me in English. If anyone can tell me what an Argentinian would understand by a tarjeta de salario, I'd be very grateful.

All help appreciated!

Thanks,

T

What is a payroll card?
Answer: A payroll card is a prepaid card arranged by an employer for the purpose of paying its employees’ wages or salary.

An employer arranges with a bank or other financial institution to pay its employees with a payroll card. The employee’s pay is loaded directly onto the payroll card rather than directly deposited into the employee’s bank account or paid by paper check.

Your employer can’t require you to receive your wages on a payroll card. Your employer has to offer you at least one alternative to a payroll card. For example, your employer might offer you a choice between direct deposit to your own bank account or a prepaid card you choose, or a payroll card.

How Does a Payroll Card Work?

Payroll cards look similar to debit cards, but they’re not linked to the employee’s personal bank account. Instead, according to Consumers Union, all the payroll cards an employer issues to staff are typically linked to one account held in the employer’s name.

On payday, an employee’s earned wages are loaded directly to his or her individually assigned payroll card. When the funds are depleted, the employee keeps the card; wages owed are reloaded to the card on the next payday.

Asker: Thanks, David! I can see it would probably work to translate it either as salary card or as payroll card, and that's very helpful to know. I appreciate all the time you took answering and posting references. And yes, DC is indeed a wonderful place, I agree!
