Wagetap is a VC-backed startup on a mission to elevate people's finances through creative financial products.

Today, over 50% of Australians live paycheck to paycheck without access to savings to help smooth out the inevitable bumps life throws at us. Millions of Australians resort to unsustainable, short-term solutions such as payday loans, consumer credit and credit cards to make ends meet.

At Wagetap, we build a mobile app that allows everyday Australians access up to $2000 of their wages at any time and manage payments for up to $600 of bills. We aim to help Australians gain back control of their finances and get out of the debt cycle.

Wagetap brings together a team of entrepreneurs with backgrounds in tech, product, finance and investments, and has significant venture capital backing. Our goal is to change the status quo and bring fairness to the Australian financial landscape.
