Payactiv Named 2021 BAI Global Innovation Award Finalist

 

Payactiv, Inc, a certified B Corp and the leader in Earned Wage Access (EWA), is named a finalist in the 2021 BAI Global Innovation Awards.

Key Facts

  • Payactiv is a finalist in the 11th annual BAI Global Innovation Awards in the “Human Capital” category. This award recognizes product innovations in financial services that “creatively shape the experience and effectiveness” of the workforce. 

  • Payactiv’s Lively app offers a one-stop digital wallet solution designed to support the needs of low-wage workers, a group often marginalized by traditional banking services. It supports more than 1,500 businesses, and its Direct model is available free for anyone.

The Big Picture

  • Payactiv empowers more people to participate in the economy they helped create. It invented Earned Wage Access (EWA), which enables workers to get paid as they earn. It is not a loan. In less than a decade, EWA as a category has become one of the most popular benefits programs in corporate America. It is used by millions of employees who work for tens of thousands of businesses. 

  • Payactiv’s Lively app is an all-in-one digital wallet offering EWA, unique discounts, integrated bill management and bill pay, goal-based savings, instant P2P funds transfer, and Payactiv Connect, a dynamic tool for communication. 

  • In 2021, Payactiv won two American Business Awards for “Company of the Year in Financial Services” and “Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program,” the B Corp award “Best for the World™” for positive social impact, Aite-Novarica’s “Grand Prize Digital Wallet Innovation Award” and a Webby Finalist Award for the short animated film, “We Heard You” – which is a tribute to the humanity of all workers.

  • Payactiv’s Lively app is available for download at the Apple Store and Google Play.

Hancock Whitney Bank Offers PayActiv EWA Program to Business Clients

 

PayActiv, the only EWA Program to receive an Approval Order from the Consumer Financial Protection Board (CFPB), welcomes Hancock Whitney, the first bank to offer PayActiv’s financial wellness solution to its bank clients.

Starting immediately, Hancock Whitney will include PayActiv as an additional banking solution for its business clients. “We are pleased to offer PayActiv to our business clients with 100 or more employees. This solution aligns perfectly with our goal of helping clients achieve holistic financial wellness,” says John Hairston, the chief executive officer of Hancock Whitney.

With PayActiv in the workplace, businesses help their employees avoid costly service fees and charges associated with short-term payday loans. By accessing a portion of their already earned but unpaid wages, a PayActiv user can save up to hundreds of dollars in fees and charges. According to the CFPB, “the PayActiv EWA program is an innovative alternative to credit.”

“Hancock Whitney has shown leadership and lived its commitment to serve hard-working Americans. Their clients can now attract, retain and recruit talent with a powerful and innovative benefit,” said Safwan Shah, CEO of PayActiv.

“Businesses that choose Hancock Whitney can now help workers live the lives they’ve earned, navigate the ups, downs and unknowns in life and be able to participate more fully in the economy they helped create,” Shah concluded.

The EWA Program from PayActiv is the only one to have received an Approval Order from the CFPB and available across 50 states. PayActiv  saved users $572 million in payday loan, overdraft and late fees and reduces turnover by up to 50 percent.
