Hastee Learn provides personalised education, news, tips, interactive modules, tools, and an AI-powered financial assistant; Hastee Discounts lists offers on everyday essentials and selected brands. Employers choose available features, set withdrawal limits and thresholds, and can apply their own branding. The service connects to more than 80 time, attendance, workforce management, and payroll systems, with API and SFTP options. Workers can sign up with a work email only if their employer offers Hastee. Employer pricing is custom, with options from zero platform fees to all-inclusive pricing; employees may pay a fee per withdrawal. The employee app is available on iPhone and Android, alongside web and API access.

NTT DATA Payment Services EWA is a paid earned-wage access service for employers and employees. It lets employees withdraw part of salary they have already earned before payday; the maker says this is not a loan, has no interest, and does not alter the employer’s payroll cycle or cash flow. The employee mobile app shows earned balances, accepts withdrawal requests, and sends payouts instantly to a wallet with UPI flexibility. Employers connect EWA to HRMS or payroll systems with minimal configuration, or use Excel-based payroll. Its HR portal supports eligibility rules, withdrawal limits, approvals, transaction monitoring, and usage controls by company policy or employee profile. Withdrawn amounts are deducted automatically on salary day, with payroll-aligned reports for reconciliation. The service targets large frontline, gig, and blue-collar workforces. It runs on Android and the web; pricing is available on request.
