ZayZoon

We're thrilled, stoked, and maybe just a little bit humbled to share that ZayZoon has ranked 14th on Deloitte's Canadian Technology Fast 50™ for the second year in a row! And hey, we moved up seven spots! 🎉 That's 1451% growth from 2020 to 2023. Not too shabby, eh? 🇨🇦 This recognition feels even sweeter as we expand our Earned Wage Access across North America, now helping Canadians access their earnings early, just like we've been doing in the U.S. At ZayZoon, we've always believed financial wellness should be within reach for everyone. It's why we've worked tirelessly to support small and medium-sized businesses and their employees from coast to coast. In fact, 1 in 4 Canadians live paycheck to paycheck—so EWA isn't just a service; it's a lifeline. Massive thanks to our team, customers, and partners for believing in our mission. This award reflects all the hard work and hustle (and maybe a bit of Canadian grit) that powers ZayZoon daily. Here's to continued growth, more financial wellness, and maybe even a spot or two higher next year. 🍁 #TechnologyFast50 #Fast50 https://lnkd.in/ebhpcMfC
