Instant Financial, a fintech company modernizing payments and earned wage access for hourly workers and their employers, announced a strategic partnership with goHappy, the leader in frontline employee engagement solutions, to improve the frontline employee experience through real-time wage access and direct communication. This collaboration will help employers reduce turnover and boost engagement among their frontline workforce.
Instant’s earned wage access (EWA) solution empowers employees to access a portion of their earned wages instantly after each shift, at no cost to employers and no or low cost to employees. Instant also provides restaurant staff immediate access to their daily tips. When combined with goHappy’s inclusive and powerful text-based communication platform, employers can now connect with 100% of their frontline workforce — no apps or downloads required — while providing financial flexibility that empowers employees and supports retention. Instant also offers a Financial Wellness program designed to help frontline employees achieve financial independence through tools that promote saving, build credit, and enhance financial health and well-being.
“Partnering with Instant is a natural fit for us,” said Shawn Boyer, Founder and CEO of goHappy. “Our mission is to help frontline workers feel more valued and connected so they can reach their full potential. By giving them both timely access to their earned wages and tips and clear, consistent communication from their employer without having to download an app, we’re eliminating major friction points in their daily lives and helping employers build more engaged and loyal frontline teams.”

“goHappy‘s ability to engage the entire frontline workforce through simple, effective communication perfectly complements our mission at Instant,” said Tal Clark, CEO of Instant Financial. “Together, we’re giving frontline employees the tools and resources they need to remain engaged and achieve greater financial independence.”
