MIAMI - XTM, Inc. ('XTM' or the 'Company') (QB: XTMIF / CSE: PAID / FSE: 7XT), a Miami and Toronto-based Fintech company in the neo-banking space, providing mobile banking and payment solutions around the world, is pleased to report that the majority of the hospitality organizations that have signed-on and are using its Today Program for Earned Wage and Gratuity payouts are fully operational and many are planning on further expansion.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Food and Hospitality sector has an annual turnover rate of 73.8%, with more than 6% of staff changing their jobs every month. On the Today Program, staff take their app, wallet and card with them when they change jobs leveraging the systems' ability to pay-out earnings from various sources and creating sales ambassadors for XTM.
A study from The Harris Poll and Ceridian (August 2021) also published on Forbes- reveals that '78% -employees between the ages of 18-44- said free access to on-demand pay would increase their loyalty to an employer' or that '81% would take a job with an employer that provides access to earned wages on-demand at no cost to them over an employer that does not.' This is becoming an increasingly important factor in view of worker shortages.
'It's been a tough couple of years for the hospitality industry,' said Marilyn Schaffer, CEO, XTM Inc. 'However, we do correlate operational efficiency with good business and sustainability. XTM's digital payout system saves time, resources and ultimately money for restaurant's operations. We are privileged to drive support for this important, vital and vibrant restaurant community. It's a win-win as the service workers are also made stronger and more financially included through our Earned Wage and Gratuity Access solution.'
