“We cannot have economic health
without good public health.”
New York City Economic Development Corporation is proud to work with Usio to implement this important incentive program. We have already surpassed $6mm in vaccine incentives, with a goal to distribute $20mm, and vaccinations are key to keeping New Yorkers healthy and to a strong recovery for all. We cannot have economic health without good public health, and we hope this important program will encourage more New Yorkers to get their life-saving vaccinations.
How it works
We’ll do the heavy lifting to get you set up quickly so you can get to what matters—vaccinating your community and saving lives.
Select your
incentive type
Give digital incentives by virtual codes, email or text*, or physical cards that can be given by hand or delivered to an address.
Distribute your incentives at vaccination events
Drive more vaccination appointments by giving your incentives on the spot.
Replicate around
your community
We’ll make sure to have enough incentives ready for all your vaccination events.
Virtual codes & virtual cards
Distribute vaccine incentives digitally with redemption codes or virtual cards that can be sent by email or text*. Recipients can immediately register the cards and add to Apple Pay®, Samsung Pay®, and Google Pay®.
Custom branding
Add your logo to the top of every virtual card email you send.
Physical cards
Not everyone knows how to use virtual codes or has smart phones to use mobile wallets. That’s why we give you the option to provide physical cards in person by hand or we can mail them directly to the recipient.
Physical cards are easy to use and customizable with your brand!
Two options to brand your physical card
Add your name to existing cards
If you need cards fast but want to cobrand your cards, we can add your organization’s name to existing Akimbo Cards. You tell us what to print, and we’ll get cards to you right away, subject to availability.
Add your logo to a custom card
Fully customize your card by adding your organization’s logo on a card. This option takes up to 3+ weeks to set up, but it makes a lasting impression in your community.
