CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ZayZoon, the leader in Earned Wage Access (EWA) solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, today announced it ranked 90th on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™. ZayZoon’s remarkable 1,451% growth is a testament to its drive for innovation, providing employees with the essential tools to improve their financial health.

Today’s economic climate is straining employee finances, with nearly three in four employees most concerned about covering necessities like food, rent, and bills. When that financial anxiety begins to affect the workplace, financial wellness tools like embedded EWA become indispensable resources for employers and employees alike.

“This recognition highlights our strong momentum and growth. From the capital we raised in partnership with Framework Partners, EDC, Viola Fintech and Intuit Ventures in late 2023, to our expansion into Canada earlier this year – we’re that much closer to our goal of saving 10 million employees 10 billion dollars,” said Jamie Ha, CFO and Co-Founder of ZayZoon. “While wages remain stagnant and the cost of living rises, we remain committed to empowering employees with tools that help their paychecks go further and improve their financial health in the long term.”

Earlier this month, ZayZoon was also recognized in Deloitte’s Canadian Technology Fast 50™ for the second consecutive year, ranking 14th on the list.

“For 30 years we’ve been celebrating companies that are actively driving innovation. The software industry continues to be a beacon of growth, and the fintech industry made a strong showing on this year’s list, surpassing life sciences for the first time,” said Steve Fineberg, vice chair, U.S. technology sector leader, Deloitte. “Significantly, we also saw a breakthrough in performance of private companies, with the highest number of private companies named to the list in our program’s history. This year’s winners have shown they have the vision and expertise to continue to perform at a high level, and that deserves to be celebrated.”

“Innovation, transformation and disruption of the status quo are at the forefront for this year’s Technology Fast 500 list, and there’s no better way to celebrate 30 years of program history,” said Christie Simons, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP and industry leader for technology, media, and telecommunications within Deloitte’s Audit & Assurance practice. “This year’s winning companies have demonstrated a continuous commitment to growth and remarkable consistency in driving forward progress. We extend our congratulations to all of this year’s winners — it’s an incredible time for innovation.”
