How DailyPay Helps Users Save Money
A recent study sponsored by DailyPay and conducted by the Mercator Advisory Group found that DailyPay helps employees save money in a number of different ways. More than 75% of respondents surveyed said DailyPay helps them save money by avoiding more expensive alternatives.
Killing Payday Loans and Eliminating Overdraft Fees
A recent in-depth study commissioned by DailyPay from Aite-Novarica found that 95% of DailyPay users who previously relied on payday loans either stopped or reduced their use after access to DailyPay. Annual savings from this are conservatively estimated at $624–$930.
Another 97% of users that relied on overdraft say they overdraw their accounts rarely, never or less after using DailyPay, saving people approximately $660 per year.
Employees reduce use of payday loans after using DailyPay and save hundreds.
Helping American Workers Pay Bills Easier and Avoid the Cycle of Debt
A new report commissioned by DailyPay from the Mercator Advisory Group found that nearly eight in ten (or 77%) of DailyPay users said that on-demand pay helps them save money by avoiding other more expensive alternatives to handle expenses
Respondents indicated that expenses related to paying their utility bills, car insurance, cell phone, housing or rent, as well as buying groceries, were the top areas in which they used DailyPay's support most.

Equipping DailyPay Users With the Tools to Save
According to a recent Harris Poll commissioned by DailyPay, more than 60% of respondents said they’d be able to save more if there was an easier way to set aside a portion of their paycheck. That’s why we’re proud of our DailySaves features, which allow people to set aside part of their paycheck at regular intervals or on-demand, free of charge.
This is also why we provide free, easy to use and flexible savings tools, and support worker saving and the America Saves campaign including through direct communication with our platform users.
Employees say they'd be able to save if employers offered an easy way.
