Earned Wage Access
Between pay cycles, workers can access a portion of their already-earned wages through Ferry Pay – separately from tips. It's not a loan and it's not an advance. It's their money, available when they need it.

Earned Wage Access
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. Instant transfers carry a small fee, paid by the worker only if they choose speed. 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.
