Instant pay access

Get workers paid as soon as they finish work

Just 4 Easy Steps

Workers sign up for Clair and set it as direct deposit

Signing up for a Clair account becomes just one more check box in the employee or contractor onboarding process. After collecting consent, platforms can pass on their l-9 or W-8 data via APIs and we'll open their accounts behind the scenes.

Clair offers wage advances daily based on hours worked.

Whenever a worker clocks out of work or finishes a task, we take that data and offer them the ability to request an advance. Clair advances a portion of gross wages to account for deductions and corrections.

Workers request advances, which are pushed directly onto their Clair card.

Workers can request free wage advances from either a partner's app or the Clair app. These advances are processed and can be used instantly at a retailer, withdrawn at an ATM, or transferred to another account.

Clair automatically deducts advances on the next payday.

Because Clair is the direct deposit account, we deduct any advances made during payday. We are responsible for ensuring that we are repaid by our users.

Less financial stress means more productive employees

By giving workers the flexibility to receive their pay sooner, they don't have to take out high-interest payday loans or pay overdraft fees just to make ends meet. Less financial stress means they can put their best foot forward every day they step into work. A study of 10,000 workers by Salary Finance found that employees who are worried about money are:

5.8x more likely to miss deadlines
2.2x more likely to seek employment elsewhere
3.4x more likely to experience anxiety
4x more likely to suffer from depression
4.9x more likely to produce lower quality work
