Workday Integrates Payactiv to Put Financial Empowerment Within Reach

This Partnership Unlocks Timely Access to Earned Wages for Millions, Fueling Financial Growth for Workers and Businesses Alike

SILICON VALLEY, Calif. – [July 23] – Payactiv, a leading provider of employer-integrated Earned Wage Access (EWA) and holistic financial wellness benefits, today announced it has  joined the  Workday partner program.a

Together, Payactiv and Workday will work to deliver timely access to earned wages for millions of workers, helping to ease the weight of financial stress while assisting employers with attracting and retaining top talent in an increasingly competitive labor market.

Removing obstacles that limit growth for people and businesses

In today’s climate of rising living costs, workers are searching for more than a paycheck—they’re seeking opportunities for financial flexibility and stability. Payactiv’s EWA benefit allows employees to access a portion of their already-earned wages when they need them most. This offering has helped 75% of Payactiv users better navigate inflation-related challenges and has enabled businesses to boost retention by an average of 30%. In industries like healthcare and hospitality, where turnover has long been a costly concern, results have been even more profound.

As a new Workday Partner, Payactiv’s integration with Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) will help make it easier than ever for employers to offer this essential benefit. Payactiv not only supports workers in moments of need—it nurtures their financial growth, which in turn fosters more resilient and engaged workforces.

Mutual Empowerment Through Innovation

“At Payactiv, we believe growth should be mutual—when people thrive, businesses thrive,” said Safwan Shah, founder and CEO of Payactiv. “Our partnership with Workday brings us closer to realizing a world where financial wellness is not a privilege, but a foundational right. By giving workers real-time access to their earnings, we create opportunities for stability, dignity, and long-term growth—for individuals and the organizations they power.”

Workday HCM provides organizations with unified tools to make faster decisions, better adapt to changing workforce needs, and help build high-performing teams. Through this integration, Payactiv can help employers deepen engagement and trust with their people, by offering tangible support that meets them where they are.

Empowering the Economy’s Backbone

This partnership is powered by a direct API integration, allowing for rapid deployment and a more streamlined experience for Workday customers. It’s the latest step in Payactiv’s mission to foster financial equity and unlock the full potential of every worker.
