What the CEO has to say: 

“This is money that is already earned, Our users have an app to see how much is available and if they need those funds, they can instantly receive them.”

“The company’s distribution model is B2B, so it works alongside large enterprises to offer access to the wages as a benefit for employees. Businesses are attracted to that model, because they don’t have to pay for it or change their payroll process.”

“We integrate with payroll so the process is automated and there’s no added work for them. It also doesn’t affect cash flows. These are upfront funds so if someone withdraws money. It gets deducted from payroll.” —  Nima Pourshasb, CEO of the company.

“Due to COVID, we are seeing a pandemic stricken world where hundreds of millions of people are facing greater financial instability, and we believe that fintech has a vital role to play in accelerating the emergence of a spending middle class undeserved by the traditional financial system.” — Carlos Alonso – Torras, Partner at FinTech Collective.
