EarnIn launches $2.99 price point for Expedited Earned Wage Access (EWA) Transfers

Earnings transfer straight in one’s own bank account, requiring no subscriptions, membership fees, or pay cards when customers enroll in Direct Deposit

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EarnIn, a pioneer in Earned Wage Access (EWA), or on-demand pay, announced today the launch of $2.99 expedited transfers (also known as Lightning Speed), becoming a leader in low-cost EWA. EarnIn’s new low-cost transfer solution can be available to any US worker with a consistent paycheck. Customers simply need to download the EarnIn app, and forward a qualifying Direct Deposit¹ through a virtual account with our partner bank².

This new low cost transfer allows customers to access their earnings into their current bank account, without requiring a subscription, membership fee, or use of a pay card. With nearly 60% of the country living paycheck to paycheck, EarnIn’s latest offering allows customers to access a portion of their earnings into their own bank account right away- and ahead of payday- for only $2.99 per expedited transfer.

“Working Americans are struggling to make today’s payday schedule work for their everyday expenses. Bills are not due on payday and expenses are not incurred systematically. We need a financial system that meets the growing demands of payments today, while reaching people in a way that is economically feasible,” said Ram Palaniappan, Founder & CEO of EarnIn.

EarnIn’s $2.99 expedited transfer offering is in addition to their always-on, no-cost EWA solution, in which EarnIn offers wage access to anyone with a paycheck at no cost, with no interest, no mandatory fees, and no credit checks³.
