The need for budgets to stretch from payday to payday plays a significant role in the experience of the cost-of-living crisis. But what if any day could be pay day, in a world where capital is immediately available as and when it’s needed?

Hi55 is a social enterprise platform that enables businesses to finance their payroll, whilst giving employees the freedom to choose how and when they are paid.
