Access PayWise+ FAQs for employers
What is PayWise+?
How is PayWise+ different from traditional employee benefits?
PayWise+ is Access’s AI-powered financial wellbeing platform that goes beyond traditional employee benefits that often go unused.
It combines earned wage access, real-time earnings tracking, savings options, and AI-driven financial guidance to reduce staff stress, improve financial confidence, and enhance retention.
Is PayWise+ a loan service?
No. The earned wage access element of PayWise+ lets employees withdraw pay they’ve already earned, it’s not borrowing.
PayWise+ is a complete financial wellness platform that helps with budgeting, saving, and long-term wealth building. Earned wage access is just one of the many benefits.
