Who we are

We’re Banfield. You’ve probably seen us around. We started in 1955 as a small practice with big ideas about preventive petcare.

Commuter Benefit

In the spirit of being environmentally friendly and helping you save money on your monthly commuting expenses, Banfield offers a Commuter Accounts Program.

How It Works

• Plan : Estimate your out-of-pocket commuter expenses when it’s time to enroll

• Spend : Pay for your eligible commuter expenses using your debit card, tax-free

• Collect : If you didn’t use your debit card to pay for eligible expenses, request reimbursement from VIA Benefits

• Save : Put a little extra cash in your pocket because you gave yourself a little pay raise by using the Commuter Account!

Key Features

• You can contribute up to $300 per month to pay for eligible expenses for the year.

• You must enroll by the 20th of the month to begin participation for the next month.

• Banfield will deduct your contributions from your paycheck before federal taxes are applied.

• If you need more than the pre-tax limit to cover your monthly commuting costs, you can link a personal bank account when signing up, offering an easy and convenient way to pay for all commuting expenses with the Via Benefits debit card.

• Money is available for use as contributions are made, whether as pre-tax contributions from a paycheck or post-tax deposits from another bank account.

• You can set up, pause or make changes to your contributions at any point throughout the year through the Via Benefits Accounts mobile app.

• As long as you remain employed with Banfield, any unused money in your account carries over each month.

• This program allows Associates to set aside pre-tax dollars for qualified transit, vanpooling and parking expenses.
