How does it work?
Choose whether you want to withdraw your earned wages on-demand, once your balance hits a certain amount, or on a certain day. Select a bank account and set up a recurring withdrawal in seconds.
Choose your own pay cycle
EWA lets you choose to get paid fortnightly, weekly, even daily. Caught short before payday? With EA, you won’t have to live off rice and beans ‘til the end of the month.
Spend, save, invest: it’s your choice.
EWA gives you control over your finances. You get full transparency over your earnings in real-time, so you can see your financial position at a glance. Need to take an extra shift this week? Or want to put a little extra towards savings? You make the call.
