When this happens we provide a top-up, advancing money to the customer's bank to bring their income back up to average. No interest is charged on the top-up; we are a subscription credit service. By smoothing out income we enable gig economy workers to budget with confidence for everyday essentials, and in turn reduce the need to turn to high-cost credit solutions that trigger debt spirals.
