Reaches every branch and role at the email in the directory

Employee directory only, no customer data

Why branch networks get missed
Tenure is the brand. Most recognition programs never reach the branch.
A 25-year teller is the reason members stay, and a points app that lives in a corporate inbox never reaches her. Gallup finds employees who receive high-quality recognition are 65% less likely to be looking for another job, and that recognition needs to arrive roughly weekly to hold. Branch staff need a card that lands on the day, not a portal.
Tellers, loan officers, call center, and operations get the same branded card on the same day, at the email in the directory.
Automated from hire dates
Birthdays, anniversaries, and service milestones send themselves from your HRIS. No branch manager has to remember.
Peer recognition across branches
A recognition form on the intranet lets anyone thank a colleague at another branch, with the card branded to your institution.
Employee data only
The directory holds staff names, emails, branches, and dates. No customer or account information ever enters the system.
Customer stories
What HR and culture leaders say after launch
Verbatim from the people who run recognition at Axon, Modivcare, and a 7,000-person healthcare system.
"We've been using the eCard widget to automate our birthday and service anniversary messages, and it has genuinely transformed our workflow. What once took hours each month now happens seamlessly in the background."

Devin Locascio
Employee Experience Program Manager, Axon
"We have been able to create birthday cards, anniversary cards, company value cards as well as get well soon, thank you, and sympathy. This program has enhanced our overall culture, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience."
D
Donte Fears
Director, Culture and Team Member Experience, Modivcare
"A+ customer service and plugin! Loved the plugin/widget from the beginning, and Tim made it even better by being super helpful and responsive to ensure it worked well for our organization of about 7,000 staff."

Nothing for IT to install, nothing about customers in the system
Staff never install anything or create an account. The directory holds employee names, emails, branches, and dates only, so no customer or account data is ever stored or sent. IT gets SSO and SCIM on the Enterprise plan; HR gets reporting by branch.

No points economy
Recognition without points, catalogs, or balances that expire
Most recognition platforms run on a points ledger: budgets to prefund, points that buy less than dollars, and balances that expire at year end. eCardRecognizer skips the whole economy. A branded eCard says what was done and who noticed, and a real gift card can ride along when the moment calls for one.
No points ledger
Recognition is a branded eCard with a real message, not a currency employees have to bank, convert, or watch expire.
No catalog
Nothing to browse, nothing converted into a points value. When you want a reward, it is a real gift card the recipient claims in one click.
Nothing to remember
Birthdays, anniversaries, and service milestones send themselves from hire dates in your directory or HRIS.
No app, no login
Frontline, hourly, and multi-site staff open the card at whatever email is in the directory. No account to set up.

What works across a branch network
Four choices that keep recognition reaching every branch.
Make tenure visible
Long-tenured branch staff are the institution to members. A 20-year card the whole branch sees does more than a line in the annual report.
Send on the date, not at the quarterly meeting
A milestone card on the anniversary reads as personal. A name read out in June does not.
Report by branch, not just totals
Recognition analytics by branch show which locations are quiet, so regional managers get a nudge instead of a policy.
Keep rewards simple and on the record
A real gift card claimed in one click, with an audit log and CSV export for payroll, beats a points balance a teller has to remember to spend.

Common questions from bank and credit union HR teams
No. The directory holds staff names, emails, branches, roles, and dates only. There is no core banking integration and nothing about customers or accounts is stored or sent. Keep customer details out of card messages and the system never touches them.
Yes. The directory groups people by department, and a department can be a branch, a team, or a role. Schedule a send to just those departments. Reporting uses the same groups.
No. The card arrives at the email in your directory, work or personal, and opens full screen in any browser on any device. Nothing to install and no account to create. Senders using the peer recognition form do not need a login either.
On the Enterprise plan, SCIM 2.0 provisioning keeps the directory in sync as people join, move, and leave, and SSO (OIDC) handles admin sign-in. Any plan can import and update a CSV export from your HRIS or payroll system.
On the Enterprise plan you can attach a real gift card to milestone tiers or spot recognition, inside ranges and spend caps you set. The recipient claims it in one click. Every order sits in an audit log with CSV export for payroll, since gift cards are taxable wages in the US.
Because the calendar depends on someone remembering. Upload the same list once and every birthday, anniversary, and milestone sends itself on your branding, with opens and clicks reported by department so you can show it ran. Your existing card designs can be uploaded as custom templates.
