PayActiv Getting Earned Wages into the Hands of Workers Immediately

PayActiv Offering Free Access to Earned Wages on Demand

 

Safwan Shah

Co-Founder & CEO, PayActiv

The coronavirus crisis has upended daily life for millions of Americans, and over 82% of workers say that they are more worried about financial issues than their health. More than half of American workers have seen their hours reduced and, even before the crisis, 78% of workers were living paycheck to paycheck. To help provide relief during this time, PayActiv, the leading provider of employee earned wage and tip access, has waived its fees until further notice to help workers access their earned wages instantly.

More than 1,000 employers across healthcare, retail, food services, and business processing services have signed up for the PayActiv platform to manage their cashflow challenges, cut costs, and support their employees by enabling them to access their earned wages when they need them most. PayActiv has seen workers enroll in its services at a 200% increase week-over-week since the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, with much of that increase stemming from workers on the front lines of the crisis in America’s hospital systems, senior living centers, and recovery clinics. 

On [Friday, April 17^th,] Safwan Shah, CEO and Founder of PayActiv, is available to you and your listeners to discuss the ways that PayActiv is supporting businesses and workers across the U.S. at this critical time.
