Understanding that over 50% of Americans would likely avoid major financial pitfalls if they could instantly access a portion of their pay after every day's work, Instant Financial, a provider of electronic tips and paycard solutions, has updated its mobile app, enhancing mobile wallet functionality, said Tal Clark, CEO of Instant Financial.

"Employee demands regarding how they access their wages are constantly shifting, and our new app is meeting that head-on," Clark said in the release. "Whether it's to cover unexpected expenses, avoid predatory loans, or simply to enjoy more control over their finances, Instant is continually revolutionizing the way people get paid."

Designed with accessibility and financial freedom in mind, the app features:

• Faster access to earned wages: Employees have access to their hard-earned wages in fewer steps, with an improved user interface (UI) and key elements surfaced more prominently within the app.
• Modern security features: State-of-the-art security protocols, such as facial and fingerprint biometrics, multi-factor authentication, and encryption technologies protect user information and provide peace of mind.
• Flexible payment options: Users have the freedom to choose how and when they access their wages. Whether it's through direct deposit, the Instant card, or a mobile wallet, the new app offers a greater degree of flexibility for all employees, ensuring convenience for all.
• Clear design: With improvements to the user interface, the app offers a user-friendly experience, empowering users to make informed choices and navigate the app confidently.
• New technology framework: Underpinned by a new technology infrastructure, the new Instant mobile app is faster, more responsive, and built to allow for additional features and functionality to meet the needs of employees and how they are paid.
