BROOKFIELD, Wis., June 18, 2019 – Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, announced today that on-demand payment pioneer FlexWage Solutions is expanding the ways wage earners can receive their pay to align with how people live and work today. In addition to being able to access their pay on-demand via a FlexWage-branded card, earners can now send their pay directly to their checking accounts at the time of their choice via Fiserv technology.
“Life does not revolve around two-week pay periods,” said Frank Dombroski, Chief Executive Officer, FlexWage. “A car repair or medical expense often can’t wait, and not being able to pay is extremely stressful. Having access to their money when it is earned can improve not only people’s financial well-being, it can improve their entire lives.”
By leveraging Digital Disbursements from Fiserv, FlexWage is now able to reach more people with more options to receive their pay. FlexWage utilizes Digital Disbursements to enable money to move in real-time to a checking or savings account via a direct push to the debit card the individual uses to access their checking account.
“As the gig economy grows and consumer expectations for speed, ease and convenience increase, there is significant demand for real-time access to earnings,” said Tom Allanson, president of Electronic Payments, Fiserv. “FlexWage continues to be ahead of the curve in helping people maintain control of their finances by providing them access to their money when they need it.”
FlexWage pioneered OnDemand Pay in 2010 and has a focus on financial empowerment, offering financial benefits like budgeting, planning, and live advice. With FlexWage, workers can access pay they have already earned, and employers are able to place limits on the number of times pay can be accessed to help promote responsible use.
In order to access their earnings, workers log into the FlexWage app and move available funds to their FlexWage pay card or to their checking account. FlexWage is used by workers across a wide variety of income levels and industries.
