ZayZoon Goes Live Inside Auris, Bringing Earned Wage Access to 50,000+ Small Businesses

Press Release | Apr 23, 2026

ZayZoon and Auris Payroll Launch Embedded Earned Wage Access and Employee Engagement Solutions to Empower the Modern Workplace.

ZayZoon, the pioneer in Earned Wage Access, is now embedded in Auris, the national HR and payroll platform trusted by more than 50,000 small and medium-sized businesses across the US. Auris customers now have access to on-demand pay, financial perks, and employee recognition from within the Auris platform - no additional logins, implementation, or bolt-on solutions.

For SMBs, benefits have always been the hard part. The tools that work for enterprise either don’t fit, don’t integrate, or don’t get used. Embedding ZayZoon into Auris closes that gap: the employer flips a switch, and employees get access to wages they’ve already earned, plus the recognition and savings tools that drive retention. 

“SMBs have been told for years that real benefits are a luxury they can’t afford to run. That’s not true anymore,” said Shane Edrington, SVP of GTM at ZayZoon. “Auris already has the trust of 50,000 operators. We’re giving them a way to hand their people a meaningful financial benefit in one click.” 

“Earned wage access resets what employees expect from payroll,” said Adam Mitchell, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Auris. “By giving workers more control over when they access their pay, Auris is helping businesses reduce financial stress among employees while improving retention.”

ZayZoon empowers employees to achieve financial stability and aids businesses in supporting their workers' financial well-being. The solution has seen a surge in demand as one of the few EWA providers designed to support the growing financial needs of all employees.

What sets ZayZoon apart is the ability for employers to also drive workplace engagement by leveraging their new recognition and communication tools, all from within the same app. Auris clients benefit from an embedded solution within their existing Auris platform, without having to switch between fragmented technologies or add-on tooling.

“By embedding ZayZoon directly into the Auris platform, we’re equipping thousands of businesses with a reliable, easy-to-use, and no-cost solution to enhance their benefits package,” Shane Edrington, SVP of GTM at ZayZoon.
