Earned wage access: Separating fact from fiction
Rounding it up
Earned wage access (EWA) allows you to access your earned income at a time that’s right for you, not your employer.
You don’t have to pay interest on money you’ve earned just because you want to use it before your scheduled pay date.
For this reason, EWA is a better and safer alternative to overdrafts and payday loans.
EWA is also beneficial for employers, as it can boost employee performance and loyalty, as well as the business’ bottom line.
