What We Do
Rain provides employers a benefit that can be offered to employees to access their earned wages. This benefit has already been rolled out to hundreds of companies located world-wide. Our mission is to regrow individual freedom by giving people control over their income and finances. We are killing predatory financial products like payday loans and overdraft fees.
We’re backed by QED, a leading venture capital firm based out of Alexandria, Virginia, which has invested in notable companies like Credit Karma, ClearScore, Creditas, and many more. Our founders are highly experienced and excited about bringing greater financial freedoms to workers and being a large part of the movement to end payday loans with high-interest rates.
Last year, Americans spent $170B while waiting for their next paycheck. Fees for payday loans, credit cards, overdrafts, and low balances add up. 63% of Americans who are living paycheck-to-paycheck are stuck in this debt trap and could benefit from early wage access.
How does Rain work?
Rain is free and easy for employers to implement. When an employer agrees to work with Rain, employees are invited to download the free Rain Instant Pay app from the Apple or Google app store. The employees will have early access to portions of their wages. Rain keeps its lights on by charging a small transaction fee, similar to an ATM fee.
Will you join us in our fight to end predatory financial practices and promote financial health?
