Tapcheck

On-demand earned wages platform for employees

Overview

Tapcheck provides earned wage access (EWA) and financial wellness tools to employees via a B2B2C model. It lets employees access a portion of earned wages before payday through a mobile app, with transfers to bank accounts, mobile wallets, or an optional Tapcheck Mastercard, and it integrates with 300+ payroll and timekeeping systems (including ADP and Paychex). Employers incur no cost; Tapcheck earns a small flat transaction fee per early transfer, and the platform includes financial education resources. Its goal is to scale the platform, expand services, and help workers cover unexpected expenses while reducing reliance on high-interest options.
