Short Survey: Cash Advance Apps

Are you a New Yorker? Have you ever used a cash advance app like EarnIn, DailyPay, Dave, or Empower? 

Please fill out this survey to share your experience! 

We're collecting stories about cash advance apps to help inform public policy in New York State.

This survey was created by New Economy Project, a New York-based nonprofit advocacy organization with a mission to build an economy that works for all, based on cooperation, equity, social and racial justice, and ecological sustainability. This project is also supported by the NYS Community Equity Agenda, a broad-based coalition fighting for racial justice and economic democracy in New York State.

Note: Your story will be kept anonymous. We may share your experience with policymakers and the public, but we will not disclose identifying details such as your name, employer, contact information or zip code. We will always reach out to you to request your permission before sharing identifying details. Please contact andy@neweconomynyc.org with questions.
