Payfare Inc. announced the expansion of its collaboration with Visa in the U.S. After obtaining its Visa Ready for Fintech Enablers certification and expanding its platform with Visa SavingsEdge in 2021, Payfare will now add Visa Direct to its platform to help facilitate real-time payout experiences for gig workers. Visa Direct, Visa's real-time push payments platform, facilitates money movement to billions of endpoints worldwide through a single integration. A Visa survey of gig workers worldwide showed that 89% of respondents indicated they were likely to sign up for real-time payments, while 66% responded that they would select gig companies who offered real-time payments instead of others.
