Clair

Clair is a New York-based embedded fintech that lets employees access wages they have already earned before payday, at no cost to their employer. Built directly into payroll and workforce-management platforms like Gusto and TriNet, Clair offers no-interest, non-recourse wage advances backed by partner bank Pathward, N.A. The company positions itself as a compliance-first alternative to payday lenders, aiming to break the traditional two-week pay cycle for America's frontline workforce.
