DailyPay A Rising Star In Employee Finance

A Brief Insight into DailyPay

DailyPay is a hypergrowth, New York-based financial technology company that enables employees to control when they get paid. Companies typically pay their staff every two weeks; DailyPay’s software allows employees, who are largely paid an hourly wage, to access their money as soon as they earn it. They partner with 80% of the Fortune 200 companies that offer on-demand pay in just about every industry, from restaurants to retail, to ensure that money is available when needed for employers, merchants, and employees.

The DailyPay platform provides an advanced, accurate, and frictionless pay experience that can be adopted with ease and integrated seamlessly into any organization’s tech stack. Forward thinking companies across the U.S. turn to DailyPay to help them build a happier, more engaged workforce, which has become especially important as the U.S. economy recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent workforce shortage. DailyPay employs about 400 people.

Company Growth and Excelling Achievements of DailyPay

In 2016, DailyPay embarked on a mission to build a new financial system that starts working the minute work starts. For too long, the way money moves has been controlled by a set of invisible rules:

• Rules that say that even if you work and earn every day, you still get only paid once every two weeks, for some reason.
• Rules that say you can only start saving and investing after your employer runs payroll.
• Rules that decide who has access to the best banking services.

DailyPay wanted to completely reimagine the way money moves, so they built a technology platform capable of powering on-demand pay. Their secret sauce? A simple but powerful tool called the Pay Balance, which gives consumers unprecedented control over their earned pay. It’s usable, consumable, spendable, saveable — just like the money you already have access to in your checking account today.
