Honor builds on Instant's reputation as a pioneer in EWA and financial wellness
ATLANTA, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Instant Financial, the fintech company modernizing payments and earned wage access (EWA) for the hourly workforce, today announced it has been named a finalist in the Best Payments System for Workforce & Earned Wage Access category for the 2025 PayTech Awards.
Instant is one of four fintech platforms shortlisted this year. The award honors technology solutions that are transforming how wages are delivered to workers — supporting financial inclusion, flexibility, and wellness through innovative payment systems.
"For nearly a decade, we've been focused on one mission: eliminating the financial waiting game for hourly workers," said Tal Clark, CEO of Instant Financial. "Being named a finalist highlights our commitment to delivering access to wages when employees need them most."
Instant continues to set the standard for modern payroll solutions. In 2015, the fintech became the first company offering a paycard model for earned wage access, enabling hourly workers to receive their wages daily, at no cost, instead of holding out until payday. Today, Instant is the only platform offering an all-in-one solution that includes earned wage access, digital tips, financial wellness perks, and instant payments via banks, mobile wallets, or paycards at no or low cost. It remains the leader in the industry, processing over $7.5 billion in payments and $4.5 billion in digital tips, helping customers like Church's Chicken, Bloomin' Brands, and Sun Holdings better recruit and retain their frontline workforce.
This recognition follows another milestone for the company: Instant was recently named a Top 10 Most Innovative Technology Company by the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG). Winners of the PayTech Awards will be announced on June 28, 2025, in London. For more information, visit instant.co.
