Stream, founded in 2018 and formerly known as Wagestream, delivers a workplace finance platform that lets employees access earned wages early and use integrated tools for saving, budgeting, and financial planning. By partnering directly with employers, the company positions its services as low-cost alternatives to high-interest short-term credit products. Stream now works with more than 2,000 employer brands and serves about four million workers across the UK, Europe, and the United States. According to the company, members have collectively saved over $200 million by avoiding high-cost financial products. The platform has evolved to include savings pots, budgeting guidance, and affordable credit options, and Stream plans to add pensions next. Management intends to use new capital to deepen its product suite and accelerate U.S. and broader international expansion. To date, Stream has raised $228 million in total funding from a roster of more than 75 investors.
