Hastee
United Kingdom earned wage access, now part of the Zellis group
As of 1 September 2026, Hastee's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. A UK earned wage access and financial wellbeing app sold free to employers. Softwr lists it under Payroll. Hastee is made by Hastee (Zellis group), available on Web, iOS, Android.
Overview
What Hastee does
Hastee lets UK employees draw a portion of pay they have already earned before payday, through an app connected to the employer's payroll and time systems. Alongside withdrawals it offers budgeting content, savings prompts and financial education, positioned as a wellbeing benefit rather than credit. Hastee co founded an earned wage access code of practice, which is relevant because the sector is not directly FCA regulated as consumer credit in the UK. The fact an HR buyer needs is the fee position. Hastee is offered free to the employer. The employee gets one free withdrawal of up to £100 per month and pays 2.5 per cent on further withdrawals. On a £200 draw that is £5, and on a worker taking money weekly the annualised cost is substantial relative to their wage. Employers can choose to contribute towards or absorb the fee, and the ones that do are buying a genuinely free benefit; the ones that do not are approving a product their lowest paid staff pay for. Ownership changed in June 2025 when Zellis, the UK payroll group that also owns Moorepay and Benefex, acquired Hastee. That is material for a buyer: Hastee is now a component of a payroll and benefits group and can be expected to be integrated with Zellis payroll and Benefex benefits over time, which strengthens it for Zellis customers and creates roadmap uncertainty for employers on other payroll systems.
What people use it for
- A care provider offering shift workers early access to pay to reduce reliance on high cost credit
- A hospitality employer using early pay access as a recruitment and retention claim
- A Zellis or Moorepay payroll customer adding wage access without a separate payroll integration project
- An employer replacing ad hoc manual salary advances processed by finance each month

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Hastee.
- Beyond the free £100 monthly allowance the employee pays 2.5 per cent per withdrawal, so a worker drawing weekly funds the benefit themselves unless the employer opts to subsidise it.
- A 2.5 per cent charge on money the employee has already earned is expensive when annualised over frequent small withdrawals, which undercuts the financial wellbeing framing used to sell it internally.
- Earned wage access is not directly regulated as consumer credit in the UK, so protections rest on a voluntary code of practice rather than FCA rules, and employees have weaker recourse than with a regulated credit product.
- Zellis acquired Hastee in June 2025, so employers on non Zellis payroll systems face roadmap uncertainty about how long standalone integrations remain a priority.
- Accrual accuracy depends on payroll and time data quality, so employers with monthly batch payroll or weak attendance capture get conservative limits that disappoint the staff the benefit was sold to.

Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Does the employee pay?
Yes. One withdrawal per month up to £100 is free; after that the employee pays 2.5 per cent of the amount withdrawn.
Can the employer make it genuinely free for staff?
Yes. Hastee offers employer paid terms where the company absorbs the transaction fee, but this is a negotiated option rather than the default.
Who owns Hastee now?
Zellis, the UK payroll group that also owns Moorepay and Benefex, acquired Hastee in June 2025.
