I'm seeing some employers here offering "next day pay" i.e. you get paid today for the hours you worked yesterday. IDK but could also imagine that many "gig" jobs work that way, i.e. do Uber drivers get their pay immediately with each ride provided, or two weeks later?
Wonder if that model will soon be more common?
- ocdtrekkie 5y agoSo on further thought, four payments over six weeks, assuming an immediate initial payment, means it bills every two weeks, or every standard paycheck. So I guess it's mostly fine... But Affirm still defaults to spreading over four months, usually interest free for the retailers they partner with, and ends up a far superior deal.
- wmf 5y agoUnfortunately some employers are charging 1% or more to get paid faster. It doesn't sound like much, but 1% to get money a week earlier is a very high APR.
