The story
Kurensē operates as a payroll card and earned wage access (EWA) provider focused on unbanked and underbanked employees, particularly through HRO and staffing company partnerships. The company embeds financial access into HR/payroll platforms like isolved and PrismHR, positioning itself as a workforce financial wellness tool rather than a standalone fintech. Its iPay Prepaid Mastercard serves as the core product, complemented by EWA and financial literacy programming.
