Summary

Life moves fast, and so should your paycheck. Get paid up to 2 days in advance with Early Pay. Fee free!

Late fees and missed payments are a headache. Imagine you have several bills due at various times during the month, including utilities, car payments, and school loans. With an early payday, you can strategically approach these expenses as soon as possible, before they are even due.

Per research from Filipe Correia, an assistant professor at the University of Georgia Department of Finance, people who are paid earlier in the week are more likely to save more of their paychecks. This increase in spending also positively affects savings and borrowing.

Consistent saving in your Savings Account, even in small amounts, encourages repeat saving, reduces stress, and helps you stay on track for your goals.

Stay ahead of the curve and empower yourself financially by securing your payday earlier in the week!
