Payactiv, a leader in Earned Wage Access (EWA) and comprehensive financial wellness benefits, has unveiled Visa+, a new feature that enables workers to instantly transfer their earned wages to Venmo and PayPal—without needing to share debit card or bank account information.
The Visa+ integration marks a significant enhancement to Payactiv’s platform, offering users more control and flexibility in managing their finances. By leveraging Visa’s real-time¹ money movement capabilities, employees can now receive their wages within moments to familiar digital wallets they already use daily.
“Financial security is the foundation for meaningful growth, both at work and in life,” said Safwan Shah, founder and CEO of Payactiv. “Our integration with Visa+ empowers employees to access their money on their terms, enhancing financial control and freedom.”

Through Visa+, U.S.-based users can establish digital wallet aliases—such as “+JohnSmith.PayPal” or “+JohnSmith.Venmo”—to route funds directly and securely. This eliminates the need to expose sensitive financial information, while ensuring seamless, secure transactions.
Steve Boyd, Senior Director of HRIS at American Senior Communities, emphasized the benefits for employees:
“Our workforce values flexibility and convenience, and with Payactiv’s Visa+ integration, our employees now have real-time access to their earned wages through familiar platforms like Venmo and PayPal. This empowers them to manage their finances on their terms, which ultimately boosts employee satisfaction and retention.”
Payactiv continues to lead in the EWA sector by offering five fee-free disbursement options, reinforcing its commitment to improving financial access and well-being. The introduction of Visa+ further aligns with its mission to deliver accessible, empowering tools for workers and employers alike.
By simplifying the wage disbursement process and meeting employees where they are—on platforms they trust—Payactiv is helping redefine financial flexibility for today’s workforce.
