Research findings confirm
- The payouts experience is a competitive differentiator in attracting, retaining and engaging top talent.
- Poor payout experiences ripe with delays and fees serve as a significant source of financial and emotional stress for independent workers – which can erode productivity and loyalty and drive attrition.
- A significant number of independent workers reported wanting instant payouts via options such as digital wallets and instant bank transfers.
- High fees were cited as one of the top challenges independent workers face when receiving payments, and more than one third of survey respondents reported wanting lower fees to access their payouts.
