The Power of Financial Flexibility is essential for gig and blue-collar workers in India, many of whom live paycheck to paycheck. Unforeseen expenses can lead to financial instability, but KarmaLife’s Earned Wage Access (EWA) offers a solution by allowing workers to access their wages before payday.
KarmaLife partnered with 60 Decibels, a respected impact measurement agency, to assess EWA's effectiveness. Their findings revealed that EWA not only enhances financial well-being and reduces stress but also empowers users by decreasing reliance on high-interest loans. Through surveys and interviews, the study highlighted the significant impact of timely access to earnings on financial security and planning, showcasing the potential for greater financial inclusion.
