Petsa de peligro (pre-payday slump) is not just a date on the calendar, but a recurring reality for many Filipino workers.
This was especially true for one call center agent caught in the middle of rush hour. Heavy rain had slowed the city to a crawl, and all he wanted was to get home. With no cash on hand for a Grab ride and payday still days away, options were narrowing.
But Paywatch, a Southeast Asia-based fintech company, offered a way out: Early access to earned wages that helped bridge the gap until payday.
Paywatch currently offers earned wage access (EWA) to 70 private companies in the Philippines, reaching roughly 100,000 employees.
