How they describe their product/innovation: elastic is a new line of credit product for employees that is linked to payroll systems. The software-driven solution seamlessly integrates with payroll software platforms, reducing the cost and risk of providing cash advances. The savings are passed on to employees in the form of lower costs as compared to overdraft fees and alternative emergency cash products. Once an employer signs up, the employee manages the rest of the process online. elastic provides flexible and affordable payment options and loans can be repaid via direct deposit using the payroll system.
