How we are levelling the playing field for employees
We partner with employers to create salary - linked employee benefits that help employees manage any shortfalls they incur during the month. Level reduces the need to dip into their savings or access expensive credit between pay cycles.
With Level there is no need to dip into savings or access expensive credit

The Socio - Economic Challenge
Many workers in low income communities don’t qualify for conventional bank loans or credit cards. When they face a financial shortfall many turn to payday lenders. These loans might address an immediate need but only at the cost of making tomorrow’s financial gap much bigger. Our mission is to eradicate the payday loan industry and bring relief to millions of employees who are living paycheque to paycheque.
