Team Lead, Development

Established in 2014, ZayZoon has emerged as a pioneer in the realm of financial wellness, fundamentally transforming how employees access their earnings. The brainchild of founder Tate Hackert, the company's journey began as an innovative solution to a pressing problem: the prevalence of predatory lending faced by hardworking individuals who lacked access to traditional financial products. ZayZoon's flagship offering, Earned Wage Access (EWA), enables employees to access a portion of their earned wages before payday, thereby alleviating financial stress and promoting a healthier work-life balance.

What started as a simple idea of connecting borrowers with their earned wages has blossomed into a comprehensive financial empowerment platform tailored for small to medium-sized businesses. ZayZoon's mission goes beyond just providing access to funds; it aims to enhance employee satisfaction, retention, and productivity. By integrating seamlessly with over 130 payroll providers, ZayZoon ensures a swift activation process, allowing businesses to offer a valuable employee benefit that supports financial stability without incurring costs. The platform also includes financial education resources, helping employees make informed decisions about their finances. Today, ZayZoon is recognized not just for its innovative products but also for its commitment to corporate social responsibility, making financial wellness a priority in the workplace.
