FlexWage operates as an employer-funded benefit rather than charging employees fees for wage access, which differentiates it from consumer-direct models in the market. The platform integrates with major payroll providers including ADP, Paychex, and Workday, enabling automated wage calculation without manual intervention. In April 2022, FlexWage Solutions and Savant Payroll Solutions partnered to deliver financial wellness benefits to small and medium-sized businesses and franchises.
