Floatpays Inc 做什么

Floatpays is an on-demand wage access platform that helps employees access, spend, save and manage their money. The problem we are solving is that more than 75% of the 12 million employed South African’s run out of money before the end of the month, 52% of those end up borrowing money to survive. Informal lending is the only option for most borrowers, with interest rates anywhere between 30-50%. The story is the same in most African countries where payday/micro-lending has become the norm amongst lower-income earners. Our app features include financial education, a budget planning tool, cash access, and voucher purchases all from wages earned but unpaid. We are currently working on a savings product to promote long-term financial resilience. We launched our product in South Africa in July 2020 and plan to extend our reach into additional African countries in 2022 and beyond.

On-demand wage access service built for Africa

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an app that lets employees access wages they've earned but not yet been paid. It also includes tools to spend, save, and manage those funds, plus financial education and budgeting features. We plan to add a savings product to help users build long-term financial stability.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in Cape Town, South Africa, but the team works remotely as well. The company would remain based in South Africa after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

South Africa is where the need is most urgent, given the financial challenges employees face here and in similar African markets. Being local helps with market understanding and building partnerships.
