DailyPay will launch its on-demand pay platform in Canada next month, allowing workers to access their earnings before traditional payday cycles.
The New York-based company announced Tuesday that its May 2025 Canadian launch marks its second international expansion, following its entry into the United Kingdom last September.
Hotel Equities, Sekure Payments Experts, Bamford Produce, Kids & Company, and HGS are among the first Canadian employers to adopt the platform.
“Expanding into Canada is a major step in our mission to better serve our multinational clients and partners and to provide on-demand pay to everyone, everywhere,” said Josh Durodola, vice president of international at DailyPay.
Financial flexibility
The service aims to address financial challenges faced by many Canadian workers, with the company noting that 56 percent of Canadians live paycheck-to-paycheck.
DailyPay’s platform allows employees to access their earned wages before scheduled paydays, potentially helping them avoid late fees and credit card interest charges.
“Providing access to DailyPay aligns with our goal to empower our associates by giving them greater flexibility and control over their earnings, ultimately helping them achieve financial stability and peace of mind,” said Raj Chollangi, regional director of operations at Hotel Equities.
Employer benefits
Research commissioned by DailyPay from Arizent suggests employers also see benefits from offering on-demand pay options. The company reports that U.S. employees with access to DailyPay demonstrate higher productivity, engagement and retention.
“At Sekure, our people are at the heart of everything we do. Partnering with DailyPay allows us to provide our employees with greater financial flexibility, reducing financial stress and improving overall well-being,” said Katie Chiarelli, vice president of sales and marketing at Sekure Payment Experts.
According to DailyPay, 93 percent of surveyed U.S. employers consider the service a valuable addition to their benefits packages, with 89 percent saying they would recommend it to industry peers.
The company’s expansion continues its stated mission of giving workers more control over their earnings while helping businesses improve employee satisfaction and retention.
