Wages earned. Not borrowed.

Ferry Pay lets workers access a portion of their earned wages before their next payday. It's not an advance and it's not a loan – it's their money, available when they need it.

Standard transfers are free – next day to the Ferry Pay Card, or 1–5 business days to a bank account. Workers who want their pay instantly can choose an instant transfer for a flat $2.99 per transfer, shown before they confirm. There's no cost to you as the operator and no liability to take on – you're simply making the option available to your team.
Workers can access a portion of their earned wages before the standard payroll cycle runs.
Reduces financial stress at the source: Unexpected bills, car repairs, childcare gaps – these hit hourly workers hard.
Improves shift pickup and retention: Workers who can access their pay faster are more likely to pick up shifts and stay longer.
