On this episode, Pete and Julie welcome on-demand pay pioneer, fintech visionary and HR & Payroll 2.0 alumni Jason Lee to the show to talk about the recent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s controversial guidance that earned wage access solutions should be treated as loan providers. After a quick update on the acquisition of SALT Labs by Chime, Jason shares his unique POVs on what the recent CFPB guidance means for the future of EWA solutions. The group talks about how the change will impact employees and the future of pay, what employers should consider, and where the future of EWA innovation and the marketplace is heading next.
