Revolut launches Payday to help employees access wages early and improve their financial wellbeing
Revolut has announced the launch of
Payday , its new earned wage access product that gives employees the power to instantly access a portion of their salary as they earn it . Payday is easy to use , cost-free for employers and gives employees more control and flexibility over their finances .
As part of the initial launch , Revolut is partnering with UK employers to let employees withdraw a percentage of their income in the month for a small , flat fee . Revolut ’ s platform and app will plug into an employer ' s payroll system , allowing employees to draw down part of their wages earlier in the month .
Customers will be able to view their available accrued earnings and select the amount that they want to withdraw directly into their main account , helping employees to access their salaries earlier in
the month to cover expenses or necessary costs and avoid getting into debt .
Payday has no impact on an employee ’ s credit score and provides them with a lower cost alternative to credit cards or payday loans that they might otherwise rely on to help with any cash flow problems .
Nik Storonsky , Founder and CEO at Revolut , said : “ We believe in the importance of making financial wellbeing accessible to all , and this includes focusing on the impact of financial stability on employees ’ mental health . After the difficulties of the past year , the last thing employees need now is financial uncertainty and stress .” x
