What a week it was: We debuted the UKG Wallet powered by Payactiv, won an award as UKG’s Collaborator of the Year, and met many of UKG’s best clients at UKG’s vibrant Vegas show.

Driving the news, UKG has partnered with Payactiv to usher in a new generation of financial wellness with the UKG Wallet.

Indelible. Unique. Empowering. Inventive. Wow.

These are the kind of compliments we heard all week.

HR People instantly recognized the app’s ability to support the livelihood needs of millions of workers.

UKG Wallet runs a white-label version of Lively, the Payactiv app. It is the world’s first digital wallet specifically designed for the specific needs of more than 80 million low-income and hourly workers. In 2021, it has won grand prizes for innovation and corporate social responsibility awards.

All Payactiv partners have access to Lively. It’s also available for free to anyone who wants to start using it right now. What’s so exciting about UKG is its reach and its full-bodied commitment to its tagline, “Our Purpose Is People.” (See press release).

Below are details on the UKG Wallet and our Collaborator award.

With Payactiv’s technology embedded in the UKG Wallet, it’s the best payroll card and it offers the best earned wage access (EWA) service in the industry.

What UKG says: “UKG Wallet provides employees with immediate access to their earned wages before payday and empowers them with budgeting tools, educational resources, and financial counseling. It not only helps with financial stress, but ultimately improves employer retention, productivity, and employee well-being.”
