Calgary-based ZayZoon has launched a new Perks Marketplace aimed at strengthening its role as a comprehensive financial benefits platform for small and mid-sized businesses.
The Earned Wage Access (EWA) provider, which enables employees to access their pay on demand, unveiled the new marketplace as part of a broader expansion strategy. The platform now includes exclusive savings, financial tools, and wellness offerings to help workers better manage their daily lives.
“Employee expectations have evolved faster than most employers can keep up,” said Darcy Tuer, CEO of ZayZoon. “The Perks Marketplace helps close that gap, giving every employee access to tools that support their financial health and overall wellbeing.”
The launch follows ZayZoon’s introduction of a Rewards and Recognition product earlier this year and reflects the company’s continued growth into a workplace utility serving all segments of the workforce. Tuer said the company is already working on additional functionality, including ways for users to earn extra income directly within the platform. “We expect to have dozens of perks before the end of the year,” he added.
“This isn’t just a bigger perks package, it’s a smarter way for employers to tackle retention and engagement,” said Tate Hackert, ZayZoon’s Chief Strategy Officer. “With the Perks Marketplace, employers can offer meaningful benefits that support every employee and strengthen their business from the inside out.”
The expanded platform aligns with ZayZoon’s broader mission to support the deskless workforce, offering tools that go beyond on-demand pay to help businesses attract and retain talent in a competitive labour market.
ZayZoon closed a $67 million Series B funding round last year led by Viola Fintech, with backing from Intuit Ventures, Framework Venture Partners, and Export Development Canada.
