- Atlantic City, NJ (1888PressRelease) February 26, 2013 - FlexWage Solutions has been named as a finalist for a 2013 Innovator Award in the category of Best Credit Innovation. One of five finalists in their category, FlexWage is being recognized as a leader in the payments industry. Voting is open now through March 1 on PYMNTS.com with the winners being announced during a live ceremony hosted by The Office's BJ Novak on March 21 from The Innovation Project, a two-day program that will challenge the way that the payments and broader commerce ecosystem thinks, develops, and ignites innovation. FlexWage is being recognized for WageBankŪ, lauded as the first practical solution to the national predatory lending debate.
"We are incredibly grateful to be recognized. FlexWage Solutions was born out of the belief that unbanked employee exploitation by payday loan and check cashing operators could be solved with technology more quickly than with legislation," said Frank Dombroski, FlexWage CEO. "We believe that our WageBank solution is the missing link, providing socially responsible financial services while eliminating the need for employees to visit predatory lenders between paydays."
The Innovation Project 2013 delegates include senior executives and elite innovators from every aspect of the payments and broader commerce ecosystem, worldwide. The Innovation Project is hosted by PYMNTS.com, the leading source of news and content on "what's next" in payments innovation, and is taking place on March 20-21 at Harvard University. One of its five modules includes pairing industry CEOs with external thought leaders such as Al Gore (former U.S. VP), SteveLevitt (Freakonomics), EricReis (The Lean Startup), RosieRios (U.S. Treasurer), RussellSimmons (Rush Card), RajDate (CFPB),and Josh Lerner(Architecture of Innovation) to challenge the conventional wisdom around what it will take to get merchants and consumers to adopt new ways to shop and pay. Warren Buffett is the program's keynote.
