PayActiv provides a financial service that allows workers to access their earned wages before the traditional payday. This service helps individuals avoid high fees associated with payday loans and overdrafts. PayActiv calculates the amount of earned but unpaid wages using time and attendance data, and once the employer or benefits provider sends the funds, they are loaded onto the worker's Payactiv Visa Card, allowing for quicker access to money. Unlike many competitors, PayActiv does not charge employers for offering this service, instead generating revenue through transaction fees when workers use their cards. The company's goal is to support workers financially while also being socially responsible, as it operates as a public benefit corporation and certified B Corp, focusing on the well-being of its users and the community.
