Why buyers look beyond Tapcheck

  1. Fee amount not published

    Employees see the flat per-transfer fee in the app before they confirm, but Tapcheck does not publish the amount, so it cannot be compared before a demo.

  2. Capped share of net pay

    Employees can reach up to 70% of net pay after each shift, within daily limits the employer sets; it is less suited to employers that want staff to reach their whole earned balance before payday.
