Our take

The Hastee app allows workers to access up to 50 per cent of their earned pay immediately at any point during the month. Hastee funds employee withdrawals on behalf of the company, with employers reimbursing Hastee on the “normal payday.” The app is solving a real problem: the majority of UK workers are said to rely on credit, and by giving workers earnings on demand, employees avoid taking on loans to carry them over to payday.

Hastee differs in that its service is completely free for employers, who contribute voluntarily, so it does not affect businesses' cash flow. However, the company faces competition from other payday startups such as WageStream, Even, Earnin and PayActive in an increasingly crowded field. Gig economy employers like Uber and Lyft already have features that allow drivers to cash out immediately after they drive.

Hastee's success led to its 2025 acquisition by Zellis, an HR and payroll solutions company. This move will integrate HAstee into Zellis's products and will expand its customer base exponentially.
