The app simulates salaried wages for hourly by calculating average monthly earnings, and offering paid advances based on its algorithm while moving surplus earnings into savings accounts. [2]

History

Even was founded in 2014 by Jon Schlossberg and a group of other entrepreneurs. The company raised $1.5 million in seed funding that year, led by tech investor Keith Rabois. [3]

The app entered beta testing in 2015, before becoming available to all users in January 2016. [2] Upon launching, the app positioned its earned wage access services as an alternative to traditional payday lending. [4]

In 2017, Walmart partnered with Even to offer earned wage access to its U.S. employees, making the retailer one of the largest employers to adopt the model at the time. [5] [6]

In July 2018, the company raised $40 million during its Series B round of funding, which was again led by Rabois. [7]

In 2020, PayPal CEO Dan Schulman announced that the company would be partnering with Even to offer the service to its employees. [8] As of 2020, the app had over 500,000 users. [9]

On March 1, 2021, David Baga became the new CEO of Even, replacing co-founder Jon Schlossberg. [10]
