Celebrating small businesses: the heart of our communities and workforces

A smiling person wearing an apron and scarf holds a mug in front of a storefront decorated with a wreath. Text reads: “DailyPay celebrates Small Business Saturday.”

Small and emerging businesses are the heart of local economies. They drive innovation, create jobs, and build vibrant communities across the country. In honor of Small Business Saturday, we want to thank the founders, leaders, and team members who serve their neighborhoods and grow their local economies every day.

At DailyPay, we know every growing company runs on a team of hardworking employees. We serve businesses of all sizes, from local main-street staples to rapidly expanding enterprises, and we’re proud to support the people who keep our communities running.

Big impact for growing businesses: Proof in scale and engagement

Modern benefits give growing businesses a competitive edge similar to the largest employers, helping smaller teams compete for top talent and keep experienced employees. They’re no longer reserved for giant corporations. They’re a growth strategy for small and emerging businesses.

DailyPay supports small and growing businesses, delivering financial wellness benefits to more than 700,000 small business employees. Built on a foundation of scale and enterprise-grade trust, DailyPay’s $66 billion in processed earnings proves our reliability to businesses of all sizes. As your business grows, DailyPay is the only EWA provider fully equipped to scale with you on your unique journey.

Small business teams also embrace on-demand pay:

  • Higher engagement. Employees at businesses of all sizes enroll in DailyPay at an average rate of 34%, higher than their counterparts at larger corporations.
  • Proven outcomes. 72% of surveyed employers reported meaningful business outcomes within their first year of offering on-demand pay.1

Attract and keep the people who make your business.

On-Demand Pay helps emerging businesses stand out when candidates compare offers, and gives current employees a reason to stay.

Recruitment advantage. 36% of employers who offer on-demand pay did so to improve recruitment and make their business more attractive to talent.2

Longer tenure. According to retirement living community The RiverWoods Group, DailyPay-enrolled employees stay more than 143 days longer than non-enrolled staff.

“Transform your business with DailyPay integration, seamlessly aligning with your existing systems, while offering employees the flexibility to access their wages instantly, leading to a remarkable transformation in workplace satisfaction.”

– Michelle Berube, The RiverWoods Group

The numbers back it up. Turnover at The RiverWoods Group is 4.5 percentage points lower for DailyPay-enrolled employees than for non-enrolled staff.
