SUNRISE, Fla. – The Florida Panthers today announced that they have partnered with Payactiv, the access standard for earned money, to expand Earned Wage Access (EWA) and financial wellness services to its employees. Through Payactiv, Florida Panthers employees can access wages they have already earned, with no-fee access options available, while gaining access to tools designed to help manage everyday budgets, unexpected costs and long-term financial goals. The agreement stems from a nationwide partnership with Oak View Group (OVG), allowing the company to provide a scalable way to deliver financial flexibility across its workforce, powered by Payactiv’s infrastructure connecting employers, payroll systems and financial services.
"We're proud to partner with Payactiv to offer this added financial benefit to our employees," said Panthers Senior Vice President of Finance & Accounting Michael Romano. "Our team works hard every day, and we’re glad to give them more flexibility and support to their earned wages on their terms."
“Every great event is made possible by the people behind it,” said Safwan Shah, co-founder and CEO of Payactiv. “With Payactiv, the Florida Panthers are giving its employees more flexibility to access the money they have already earned, when they need it. We are proud to support the people who make these experiences possible.”
Beyond expanding access to financial benefits, Payactiv and Florida Panthers will use the partnership to recognize and celebrate part-time employees who make live events possible including an “Employee of the Month” program. Additionally, Payactiv will be a sponsor of the annual Part Time Staff Appreciation Party. The partnership with OVG will also introduce Payactiv to millions of fans and visitors across the company’s national venue network.
