Company
Wagetap
Advance next payday, and BNPL for bills
We built a mobile app that allows users to get an advance up to $2,000 on their next payday and pay their bills in manageable installments. Our product targets people who need flexible access to short-term credit to avoid late fees or costly alternatives. We plan to expand into a suite of financial products to become the everyday financial partner for our users.
We live in Sydney, Australia, and after YC the company will be based here as well.
Sydney is home for us, and the market we know best. We think building from where we have the strongest local knowledge and access to early users gives us an advantage. We want to stay close to our core customers and team.
