Description

Wakalu is a provider of Earned Wage Access, where we work with companies on traditional payroll cycles, to provide their employees access to their earned but unpaid salary on a daily basis.

This helps staff when they need some cash support or to manage emergency situations without resorting to borrowing from friends or family, or resorting to more predatory options which has overdraft fees or high-interest credit.

Working together with Caring Employers, we help companies meet their United Nations Sustainable Development Goals while at the same time, reducing turnover, improving workplace productivity and relieving workers of the most common stress factor - financial distress.
