Our client is a venture-backed fintech with a mission to give employees instant access to their earned wages, which solves a major problem for real people, while killing predatory financial products like payday loans. It is the fastest-growing startup in the category and was incubated by QED Capital, a top fintech venture fund.

The company’s app provides earned wage access for employees at mid- to large-sized organizations to improve their financial wellness and to increase employee engagement and productivity.

With many workers living paycheck to paycheck, financial wellness tools are an important part of any employee benefits package. The company gives employees access to the money that they have already earned whenever they need or want it, without needing to wait for the month-end paycheck. The service is mobile app-based, very easy and intuitive to use. There’s a small transaction fee and no interest to pay - a much healthier solution than payday loans or bank overdrafts with their exorbitant charges.

The company’s ultimate mission is to help people attain financial freedom, which starts with giving people full control over their income.
