New Research by Volante Labs Exposes Predatory Lending Crisis and Solution

ROAD TOWN, Tortola--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Volante Labs has released a study analyzing how earned wage access (EWA) technology impacts predatory lending practices. The research, examining 600 companies across multiple industries, demonstrates that EWA implementation reduces predatory lending by 69% while generating significant cost savings for workers.

"Traditional payday lenders charge up to $300 in fees for a $1,000 loan on average," said Joey Bertschler, Chief Executive Officer of Volante Labs. "When workers can access their already-earned wages in a timely manner, they escape the debt trap. The advent of technology has made daily wage payments practical again."

The study, "A Global Analysis of Earned Wage Access Implementation and Impact," tracked over 1,000 workers and analyzed 27 sources, revealing:

• Workers save up to $260 per $1,000 accessed compared to traditional lending alternatives
• 89% of participants reported reduced financial stress and improved ability to manage expenses
• Implementation of EWA systems significantly decreased reliance on payday lending services

"The delay between work and wages isn't just outdated," said Bertschler. "When companies hold workers' wages for weeks, they earn interest while creating a cycle where workers effectively borrow their own money back at extortionate rates."
