Support your team between paydays
An unexpected expense shouldn't mean a payday loan. OnTap lets employees request an advance against wages they've already earned, with your policy limits and approval rules enforced automatically — and repayment deducted cleanly at the next payroll run.
- Employees request advances directly from the self-service portal
- Configurable eligibility rules, advance limits, and approval workflows
- Repayment automatically deducted from the employee's next payroll run
- Full visibility for HR and finance into outstanding advances at any time
