DailyPay secures $200M asset-backed securitisation, reaches $1.4B in total debt financing

DailyPay, the on-demand pay provider, has completed a $200 million asset-backed securitisation of its receivables. This marks the company's second such transaction, following a $200 million securitisation in June 2025. The New York-based firm now has approximately $1.4 billion in debt financing backed by its on-demand pay receivables, including a $960 million secured credit facility. DailyPay is the only on-demand pay provider to access the asset-backed securitisation market. The company serves more than 2,000 employers and over 6 million employees. Its platform allows workers to access wages they have already earned before payday, with DailyPay funding the transfers without affecting employer cash flow. Citi acted as lead bookrunner and structuring agent for the transaction.

Wells Fargo in talks with Kraken parent Payward for crypto liquidity provision

Wells Fargo is in talks with Payward, the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, to use it as a crypto liquidity provider, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke to CoinDesk. Under the potential arrangement, Wyoming-based Payward would supply liquidity for digital asset trading. Both companies declined to comment. The discussions reflect a broader trend of major banks partnering with established crypto companies rather than viewing them as competitors. Regulatory changes under the Trump administration have accelerated this shift. The GENIUS Act, signed in July 2025, created a federal framework for payment stablecoins, giving banks clearer rules for connecting crypto markets to traditional finance. Wells Fargo already offers spot Bitcoin ETFs to eligible wealth clients and has backed crypto compliance firm Elliptic.

Morgan Stanley upgrades Wells Fargo to buy, sees 27% upside as margins stabilise

Morgan Stanley upgraded Wells Fargo to buy from hold on Monday, setting a $102 price target that implies 27% upside. The bank is scheduled to report third-quarter earnings next Tuesday. Wells Fargo shares are down roughly 12% this year, lagging major peers. The underperformance stems partly from margin pressures after the Federal Reserve lifted a $1.95 trillion asset cap in June 2025. Wells Fargo expanded rapidly using pricier wholesale funding, which hurt profitability. Morgan Stanley expects margins to improve as balance-sheet growth moderates and the bank shifts toward cheaper deposit funding. Investment banking also presents upside: Wells Fargo has hired 150 senior bankers over four years and doubled fee revenue since 2022, yet still lags peers. The firm forecasts return on tangible common equity will reach 18% by 2028.

Workday expands revolving credit facility from $1B to $1.5B

Workday has expanded its revolving credit facility from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion under a new multi-bank agreement led by Wells Fargo. The facility, which entered into effect on 1 October 2026, replaces the company's previous credit agreement from April 2022. The new credit agreement runs until October 2031, with options for limited one-year extensions. It supports multi-currency borrowing in US dollars and approved foreign currencies, with no revolving loans outstanding as of the closing date. The facility features a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, with flexibility up to 4.50 to 1.00 following certain qualified acquisitions. Interest and fee structures are tied to either Workday's consolidated leverage ratio or its senior unsecured debt ratings.
