XTM Launches PayNow, an Earnings Payout, Remittance and Employee Benefits Solution for U.S. Temporary and Migrant Workers

Business Wire
XTM Inc. (“XTM” or the “Company”) (CSE:PAID / FSE:7XT) a Miami
and Toronto, Denver and London-based Fintech creator of innovative
payment solutions including tipping-payout and certified Earned
Wage Access (EWA) through its QRails AnyDay™ product and fully
integrated processor, today announced the launch and roll-out of a
Global Workers Payout Program called PayNow.
The new program empowers temporary workers to, with a simple
mobile app download and know your client application, open a secure
digital bank account to receive earnings, load cash conveniently at
50,000 locations across the United States, make point of sale
transactions with a paired debit card and access employee benefits
including repatriation and sick day pay.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the U.S.
Department of Labor, migrant workers make up 17.4 percent of all
workers in the U.S. labor force (BLS 2019). Included in the
migrant worker numbers are 2.8M temporary workers in the US (2023)
including temporary agricultural workers.
“This program represents an important launch for us,” said
Marilyn Schaffer, CEO, XTM. “It’s important for two reasons, one
that we care deeply about creating financial inclusion for those
that have been underserved and have had limited advantages in the
payment, remittance and insurance ecosystem and two, because this
program with anticipated utilization represents an economic
game-changer for XTM.”
“This program is designed to foster financial wellness and
inclusion, something we want to be a part of,” said Jorge Luevanos
of founder of JLS Services one of the largest maintenance companies
in Mexico with 5,000 workers in the U.S. “It empowers temporary
workers to send money back to Mexico affordably and securely, while
offering essential employee benefits for their peace of mind.”
Workers will discover the program through their employers, on
work assignment at the Mexican Foreign Ministry and independently
through a variety of impactful touchpoints including social media,
designed to minimize engagement costs and maximize conversions. In
early September 2024 the Company launched a “coming soon” landing
page with a pre-sign up ability and has a queue waiting of both
employees and employers for the commercial launch, supporting the
Company’s position that there is a significant void in the market
for its PayNow product. Following the initial launch of PayNow in
the US, the Company intends to expand the solution in both the
United Kingdom and Canada which along with the U.S. are in the top
5 countries globally employing the largest number of temporary and
migrant workers.
Employers can easily deposit their migrant and temporary
workers’ pay directly to a digital account via ACH direct deposit,
deposit cash or issue a paycheck for deposit. Workers can instantly
make remittance transfers from their digital account to Mexico and
soon other countries at highly competitive prices with remittance
transfers from the U.S. to Mexico being offered at one of the
lowest prices in the industry. Within the app, workers can opt in
for sick benefits and repatriation coverage for less than a dollar
a day.
