Deep dives
Rethinking Payment Structures
The initial concept for withdrawing earned wages involved charging a small percentage, which quickly started resembling a loan model. To avoid regulatory complications and negative public perception, a flat convenience fee was adopted instead, akin to ATM withdrawal fees. This shift in strategy highlighted the need for regulatory compliance when designing financial products. It ultimately aimed to create a more user-friendly experience while ensuring that users did not feel they were accumulating debt.
