Mastercard is working with portable benefits program Stride in order to help companies offer U.S. workers access to affordable healthcare plans, according to a press release emailed to PYMNTS.

The release stated this is the first time that “differentiated health, dental and vision benefits will be made available via a payments network.” FinTech Mobility Capital Finance (MoCaFi) and Jobble are two of the first companies that will provide workers with healthcare through the partnership, the release stated.

The move is being made, according to the release, because of the need for accessible benefits among gig and independent economy workers, who don’t often have them — alongside the flexibility to keep benefits as they change jobs.
