Partnership Through Oak View Group (OVG) Provides Employees With the Financial Wellness Benefit of On-Demand Pay
DailyPay Named the ‘Official On-Demand Pay Partner’ of the Washington Wizards, Washington Capitals and Capital One Arena
(Washington, D.C.) – Monumental Sports & Entertainment (MSE) has partnered with DailyPay, providing the essential financial wellness benefit of on-demand pay to MSE employees. As part of the partnership, DailyPay will be designated as the official ‘On-Demand Pay Partner’ for the Washington Wizards, Washington Capitals and Capital One Arena. This partnership is made possible through DailyPay’s collaboration with Oak View Group (OVG), the global venue development, advisory, and investment company for the sports and live entertainment industries. OVG Global Partnerships initiated and negotiated this deal on behalf of Monumental Sports.
By offering DailyPay as part of its financial wellness benefits package MSE employees will have voluntary access to their pay as they earn it. This gives them the flexibility to pay bills, spend, save, and invest on their own schedule, eliminating the need to rely on a traditional scheduled payday.
This financial benefit and flexibility allow employees to avoid the use of high-interest payday loans. Research from the Aite Novarica Group, commissioned by DailyPay, shows that 95% of those who were previously reliant on payday loans in any way either stopped using payday loans (81%) or reduced use (15%) after using DailyPay.
“MSE recognizes the incredibly hard-working staff that help elevate our fan experience and create indelible memories for our guests each and every time they attend an event,” said Kelly Skoloda, Chief People Officer. “We appreciate that this partnership with DailyPay will allow us to provide an additional financial wellness benefit to our dedicated employees.”
“Partners like DailyPay are exciting for us because they focus on delivering a new service for the heart of our operation: our employees,” shared Jim Van Stone, President, Business Operations & Chief Commercial Officer. “They spotted a gap in the marketplace and instituted a technology-backed solution, which aligns with Monumental Sports’ approach to innovation in our industry. Most importantly, we trust that our employees will benefit from the flexibility this service offers.”
The partnership is scheduled to begin early summer.
