PayJoy Delivers 40%+ Growth While Strengthening Income and Financial Stability for Underbanked and Gig Workers

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — PayJoy, a leading financial services provider for underserved consumers across emerging markets, today released its 2025 Impact Report, showing that its inclusive credit platform has served over 18 million customers across nine countries, representing 40%+ year-over-year growth.

The report highlights that PayJoy customers remain predominantly underbanked, with 45% lacking access to any formal financial account, 33% new to credit, and 31% using a smartphone for the first time.

Advancing Financial Stability for Gig Workers

This year’s Impact Report also draws on findings from a recent study: Gig Workers and the Hidden Infrastructure of Credit Access, underscoring the structural challenges faced by gig workers—who now represent 59% of PayJoy’s customer base. Patching together multiple income streams to make ends meet, many remain financially vulnerable due to income volatility and limited access to traditional credit or safety nets.

PayJoy’s secured-credit model helps address this gap by offering:

• Flexible credit to manage income swings

• Reliable tools for work, including smartphone access
  

Customers report significant improvements in financial stability:

• 87% feel more financially secure from access to PayJoy credit
• 86% say their PayJoy-financed phone enables them to work in their current job or business
