Pay Advances

An estimated 96 million workers participate in the U.S. gig economy, whether driving for ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft or offering other services on a freelance or contractor basis. Access to earned wages is crucial to these individuals and many more. The Pay Advances Playbook offers deep statistical knowledge of the financial products and services these workers want. Done in collaboration with Mastercard    
Key Findings in the Study Include:
  • 66.8 percent: Share of paycheck-to-paycheck gig workers who would consider switching to platforms that offer pay advances
  • 53.4 percent: Portion of paycheck-to-paycheck workers who would use pay advances to cover bills and expenses
  • 48.5 percent: Segment of paycheck-to-paycheck workers who believe pay advances would provide greater financial flexibility
