- Fees
Processing Fee
You will be charged a flat fee (the “Processing Fee”) in the amount shown at the time you request your Advance from ZayZoon. The Processing Fee will be payable at the time of payment of your Advance.
The Processing Fee is the charge for participating in ZayZoon’s EWA Service, and it represents ZayZoon’s costs associated with processing your request. ZayZoon represents and warrants that you will not be required to pay any other charges or fees in connection with the EWA Service.
The Processing Fee is not dependent on the amount that you request from ZayZoon. You incur the Processing Fee for each request of Advance that you make. We want you to get the most from our service, and so we recommend that you keep this is in mind. Two Advances of $100, for example, will cost twice as much as one advance of $200.
We don’t enjoy charging you fees, and we want to minimize the amount you pay to get your Accrued Amount early. Please use our service in the way that’s best for you today and tomorrow.
Additional Fees
There are no additional fees for using the ZayZoon Services.
- ZayZoon Services
Your right to access and use ZayZoon Services is personal to you and is not transferable by you to any other person or entity. You may only access and use the ZayZoon Services for lawful purposes. ZayZoon has partnered with your Payroll Provider, employer, or both to provide you access to the ZayZoon Services.
You have no obligation to use the ZayZoon Services. You have the right to wait until your regular payment due date without using the ZayZoon Services. If you do choose to wait, you have the right to receive the full amount of your wages, without discount.
Upon distribution of your Advance, you, or ZayZoon on your behalf, will notify your Payroll Provider that you have received the Advance. Such notice will represent your acknowledgment that you have received a portion of your Accrued Amount, and your authorization and direction for the Payroll Provider to distribute to ZayZoon an amount (the “Repayment”) equal to the Advance and the Processing Fee equal from your next Distribution. You may revoke your authorization for any such subsequent deductions at any time without a penalty or a fee. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NOT ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED OR CONVEYED YOUR WAGES FROM EMPLOYER OR ANY PART THEREOF. ZAYZOON HAS NO RIGHT TO ASSERT A CLAIM AGAINST YOU OR EMPLOYER WITH RESPECT TO YOUR WAGES AND HAS NO RIGHT, TITLE OR INTEREST IN, TO OR UNDER YOUR WAGES. However, if ZayZoon is unable to settle an Advance transaction, your access to the ZayZoon Services may be limited or suspended until such time as you voluntarily pay the outstanding Repayment amount.
By using the ZayZoon Services, you represent and warrant that the portion of the Accrued Amount that you are requesting to access is just and due, that this amount is not subject to reduction in whole or in part by reason of a valid lien or garnishment, and that by requesting an Advance, you have a reasonable expectation of receiving your Accrued Amount in your next scheduled Distribution. You acknowledge and agree that the Advance represents a portion of your Accrued Amount and, at the time your Employer makes a payment associated with such wages, the Repayment to ZayZoon plus your receipt of any remainder will constitute full and complete receipt of your wages.
In the event that you have received an Advance, it may constitute fraud for you to notify your Payroll Processor or Employer that you have not received a portion of your Accrued Amount through your use of the ZayZoon Services.
ZayZoon uses a number of variables to determine your earned wages, which may include but is not limited to, earnings history, time and attendance data, and employer confirmation. In rare instances, the determination of your earned wages may be incorrectly calculated. As a result, our system may distribute an Advance that is in excess of your Accrued Amount. In such an event, you authorize such amounts to be deducted from your next following Distribution. You may withdraw this authorization at any time. For clarity, you will never incur additional fees as a result of this, and will not be charged any additional amounts. In the event that this would create any financial issue for you, please reach out to ZayZoon at www.zayzoon.com where our support staff will work with you on this issue.
Your access and use of ZayZoon Services may be interrupted from time to time for any of several reasons, including the malfunction of equipment, periodic updating, maintenance or repair of the ZayZoon Service, or other actions that ZayZoon, in its sole discretion, may elect to take. In no event will ZayZoon be liable to any party for any loss, cost, or damage that results from any period of downtime of the Sites or Services.
ZayZoon Boost
ZayZoon Boost is a service offered through ZayZoon, but provided by Prizeout Corp. (“Prizeout”). Boost is another Wallet option that you can select to receive your Advance. With Boost, you select Boost/Prizeout as the location you would like ZayZoon to direct your Advance. If you select Boost as your Wallet, you will be redirected to the Prizeout website, where Prizeout will present you with available options. If you choose one of Prizeout’s presented options, you will be redirected back to the ZayZoon Services where you may confirm your decision to use Boost as your Wallet to receive Advances. You will be charged the Processing Fee for taking an Advance, but there are no additional fees charged by ZayZoon, and there is no change in the flow of funds from your use of the ZayZoon Services. You are simply choosing to receive your Advance in your Boost/Prizeout Wallet.
Your use of the Prizeout services may be subject to terms and conditions (the “Prizeout Terms”) between you and Prizeout. ZayZoon is not a party to the Prizeout Terms, and ZayZoon expressly disclaims all responsibility for your use of any Prizeout services. If there is an issue with your use of their services, you should contact Prizeout directly.
ZayZoon may get commissions when you use the Boost service. If you would like to know more, please see our Commission Disclosure Policy.

ZayZoon reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the ZayZoon Services with or without notice. We reserve the right to change the ZayZoon Services, including applicable fees, in our sole discretion and from time to time. In such event, if you are a member to the ZayZoon Service, we will provide notice to you. If you do not agree to the changes after receiving a notice of the change to the ZayZoon Services, you may stop using the ZayZoon Services. Your use of the ZayZoon Services after you are notified of any change(s) will constitute your agreement to such change(s).
