Credvan vs Dosh

Credvan is a web platform that gives employers earned wage access and workforce tools aimed at staffing reliability. Eligible employees can access part of their verified, earned but unpaid wages before payday without a credit check. Credvan calculates available balances from verified employment, earnings, and hours-worked data, and provides a free standard transfer option. Employers can mark hard-to-fill shifts as Premium Shifts; completing an eligible shift may unlock enhanced access to wages earned. Employer analytics show how Premium Shifts and wage access affect staffing performance. Integrations named include Gusto, Square, ADP, Oracle, and Workday, with support for more than 100 providers and payroll and timesheet integration. The service is in early access for a select group of employers, employees, and partners. Pricing is not displayed; employers are invited to book a demo.

Dosh is an earned wage access platform for employees of participating companies. It connects to an employer’s payroll system to track wages as they accrue, allowing eligible employees to request up to 25% of their monthly salary before payday. By default, employees may request one advance per week, though employers can configure a different limit. Dosh charges a flat 10% transaction fee on the amount requested. The amount accessed and fee are deducted from normal pay on the next payday and itemised on the payslip. Approved funds are sent to a bank account or mobile wallet, often within minutes. Dosh describes wage access as not a loan and says it involves no credit check or interest. Employees need a participating employer with integrated payroll, a South African ID, mobile number, bank account, and three months of bank statements to sign up. The Android app is available on Google Play; Dosh says iOS is coming soon. The company says it uses encryption, access controls, and audit trails, and does not sell personal data. Dosh says the benefit costs employers nothing to run.
