EARNED WAGE ACCESS (EWA) CODE OF PRACTICE

The CIPP has united with seven leading UK providers of EWA to create an ‘EWA
Code of Practice’. This Code was written in response to a recommendation by the
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and sets the common standard for firms
providing EWA products to deliver good consumer outcomes. To be compliant with
the Code, each provider must undergo a regular independent assurance assessment.

We see the growth of EWA as one of the biggest current trends within payroll.
More than 1 in 10 UK employers now offer EWA to their workforce*, and the
majority of workers say they'd see an employer as a better place to work, if EWA
was offered**. Providing an equivalent service is already a legal requirement in

considering the introduction of EWA to read the Code to better understand what
providers can and should be doing to deliver good consumer outcomes.
