On-Demand Pay: What Does the CFPB Have to Say About It?

Over the years, consumers have become accustomed to getting what they want when they want it, usually by doing no more than clicking a few buttons. They can watch new shows by the season, get same day shipping from marketplaces like Amazon, and order groceries online for immediate delivery. 

So it makes sense that this desire for immediacy extends past commodities. Employers are beginning to implement a system referred to as on-demand pay, which is exactly as it sounds: pay day, any day. On-demand pay gives employees access to wages as they are earned.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recently released an advisory opinion titled “Truth in Lending (Regulation Z); Earned Wage Access Programs,” which explains the nuances of earned wage access (EWA) and the complications of regulatory uncertainty.

To help simplify the document and discuss on-demand pay and early access to wages, PaymentsJournal sat down with Jason Lee, CEO of DailyPay.

Project Canary Acquires Troposphere Monitoring

• The acquisition strengthens Project Canary’s ESG trusted data solutions for the global energy industry

• Troposphere scientists join the team in key leadership roles, further enhancing Project Canary’s technology advantage

DENVER and DALLAS and AUSTIN, Texas and HOUSTON, Dec. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Project Canary, an International Environmental Standards company and the leading provider of environmental solutions for the global energy industry, today announced it has acquired Austin-Based Troposphere Monitoring, Inc. Troposphere is a leader in hydrocarbon emissions sensor technology. This is the second acquisition Project Canary has completed in the past six months.

“Measuring emissions in real-time at well sites and facilities is not only technically possible, but it is also scientifically accurate and affordable,” said Anna Scott, Ph.D., CEO at Troposphere. “Our innovative sensor technology offers companies at all phases of the energy supply chain a cost-effective method for continuously monitoring methane and other hydrocarbons. We’re excited to join the Project Canary team, as their wide operational footprint is the ideal platform for expanding the deployment of our proprietary methane sensing technology.”

Troposphere Monitoring’s sensor technology distinguishes between different gases, like propane, ethane, or butane, so permitted emissions look different than leaks to the monitoring system. Using advanced infrared spectroscopy technology, Troposphere sensors located at the fence line of a well site or facility can detect and identify quantities of methane, hydrocarbons and other byproduct gases at the ppb level of precision. The data is continually uploaded to Project Canary’s secure, cloud-based data platform for real-time alerts and ESG analytics.
