With the partnership of employers, the fintech platform (and mobile app)
offers employees three main tools: salary-on-demand (free access to earned
salaries between paydays), zero interest employee loans and an automated
financial advisor. According Daniel Wartolowski, co-founder of Symmetrical.ai, “Our
mission is to let people regain control over their finances. We want our users
to make the right financial decisions and have access to fair financial
products.”

Piotr Smolen, co-founder and CEO of Symmetrical.ai says the solution is
designed to serve mid-to-large organisations in Europe, giving them a new path
to support their employees’ financial health. “Currently they can choose
between a couple of specialised providers of cash advances and/or employee
credit products, which only deliver tools and neither solve real problems of
employees nor of HR Departments,” he says.
