DailyPay launches On-Demand Pay in Canada, expanding global footprint

By Gloria Methri

DailyPay, a US-based worktech firm and leading provider of On-Demand Pay, has announced the launch of its platform in Canada, marking its second international expansion. The service will be available from May 2025 to both new and existing clients operating in the Canadian market.

The expansion into Canada follows DailyPay’s initial international launch in the United Kingdom in September 2024, as the company continues to scale its global footprint. Its platform enables employees to access earned wages before traditional payday cycles, aiming to improve financial flexibility and reduce reliance on high-interest credit.

“Expanding into Canada is a major step in our mission to serve our multinational clients and partners better and to provide On-Demand Pay to everyone, everywhere. By bringing our worktech solution to the Canadian market, we empower employees with greater financial control while helping businesses enhance retention, productivity, and employee satisfaction,” said Josh Durodola, Vice President of International at DailyPay. “As we continue to innovate and expand globally, we remain dedicated to serving the needs of daily workers to optimise their daily time, maximise their pay and create opportunities for financial savings and growth.”

DailyPay’s On-Demand Pay model has shown tangible benefits for users in the United States, with evidence suggesting that it helps workers avoid late fees and reduce credit card interest. The move into Canada comes at a time when financial strain is prominent, with recent figures indicating that 56% of Canadian workers are living paycheque-to-paycheque.

Among DailyPay’s early clients in Canada are a mix of large and mid-sized employers, including Hotel Equities, Sekure Payment Experts, Bamford Produce, Kids & Company, and HGS. These organisations cite improved employee financial wellness and enhanced retention as key drivers for adoption.

“At Hotel Equities, we are committed to supporting the well-being of our team members in every way possible,” said Raj Chollangi, Regional Director of Operations at Hotel Equities. “Providing access to DailyPay aligns with our goal to empower our associates by giving them greater flexibility and control over their earnings, ultimately helping them achieve financial stability and peace of mind.”

“At Sekure, our people are at the heart of everything we do. Partnering with DailyPay allows us to provide our employees with greater financial flexibility, reducing financial stress and improving overall well-being,” said Katie Chiarelli, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Sekure Payment Experts. “We are committed to enhancing our employee experience, and offering On-Demand Pay is an important step in ensuring they feel valued, supported, and empowered in their financial journey.”
