What We Do

The financial empowerment platform for SMBs.

ZayZoon improves productivity, employee retention and recruitment. It is a powerful corporate social responsibility tool and financial wellness program.

How we do it?
We transform how and when employees are paid. ZayZoon provides Wages On-Demand so employees can access to their earned wages before payday, and a financial wellness platform that teaches employees how to use those wages wisely and efficiently.

ZayZoon makes for happier, healthier and more productive employees.

Why?
We support employers to increase workforce’s resilience, engagement, productivity and happiness, while improving the health of employees with responsible financial products.

Employee financial stress influences a company’s well-being, including lost productivity from absenteeism and distractions at work.
Financial stressors are not only negatively impacting employees, but are costing the employers.

These findings evidence a direct correlation between an employee’s financial well-being and a company’s bottom line. That is why employee financial wellness matters to your organization.
