Built to power financial services at scale

Most financial products sit alongside the platforms employees use. Clair’s products live inside them.

Embedded architecture

A native feature that lives inside your product

There’s a difference between a product that connects to your platform and one that’s embedded inside it. On-Demand Pay feels like a native feature, not a vendor your customers manage or an app employees need to download.

For your platform

Your brand stays front and center. Clair is the infrastructure underneath.

For your employers

No activation, configuration, or funding liability. On-Demand Pay is there from day one.

For their employees

Access to their earned wages inside the platform they already know and trust.

Clair Atlas

Underwriting based on current data, not the past

Traditional credit models exclude workers they deem risky because they don’t have enough data. Clair Atlas shifts the lens from credit history to real-time employment signals—adapting immediately when someone’s employment patterns change, and giving a worker the ability to prove their creditworthiness in weeks rather than years.

Every decision is transparent and auditable, so regulators and partners can see exactly how it was made.

Compliance

Structured so your platform stays outside the credit flow

Clair partnered with a national bank as the actual lender. That structure protects your platform and is durable as regulation in this space evolves.

Pathward®, N.A. is the lender

All advances are originated by Pathward, a national bank, from its own balance sheet.

Your platform stays out

You’re in the flow of information, not funds. No involvement in the origination means no liability or repayment risk.

Clair holds the licenses

Clair holds brokering and servicing licenses where required. We facilitate access but don’t issue advances directly.

We monitor the regulation

Clair monitors EWA legislation across all 50 states and federally. When something changes, we handle it for you.

“We evaluated all the major players in the On-Demand Pay space, and Clair stood out as our ideal partner, bringing both the compliance framework and technical capabilities we need to offer advances right inside our existing app.”
