Recognized for Reimagining Payday and Building Financial Freedom for Workers

We’re thrilled to announce that Express Wages has been named a finalist at InvestFest 2025, hosted by Operation HOPE. This year’s theme—From Hustle to Ownership—celebrates founders who are building pathways to equity, community wealth, and economic mobility. We’re honored to stand alongside an incredible group of entrepreneurs who are reshaping what it means to create opportunity.

At Express Wages, our mission is simple: make payday work for people, not the other way around. By giving workers instant access to the money they’ve already earned, we help reduce financial stress, boost retention for employers, and give employees more control over their financial lives. It’s a win-win that supports both businesses and the people who power them.

Being recognized on this stage, with the support of Operation HOPE and the InvestFest community, is a powerful validation of the work ahead. We’re just getting started—and we’re more energized than ever to build a future where financial freedom is part of every paycheck.
