Embedded earned wage access provider Reset has secured $6 million in fresh funding, with the round notably anchored by its existing credit union and community banking clients. The capital injection positions Reset to expand its platform that enables financial institutions to offer on-demand salary access to employees through their existing banking relationships.
The backing from current customers signals strong validation of Reset’s embedded finance model in the competitive earned wage access sector. This approach allows credit unions and community banks to retain customer relationships rather than losing ground to standalone EWA providers like DailyPay or Earnin. The funding comes as traditional financial institutions increasingly seek fintech partnerships to compete with digital-first challengers offering instant pay features.
For financial services providers, this represents growing momentum in white-label wage access solutions that preserve existing banking relationships while meeting employee demand for flexible pay schedules.
