DailyPay, a leading US-based PayTech company, has appointed Derek Andersen, current Snap Inc. chief financial officer, to its board of directors.
The move aims to strengthen DailyPay’s strategic and financial leadership as it continues to scale its innovative earned wage access platform, according to FF News.
DailyPay, known for its mission to enhance financial wellness and transform how workers get paid, has carved out a strong position in the digital paytech space.

Earlier in his career, Andersen held various finance leadership positions at Fox Interactive Media, building a track record of operational excellence and business growth. His history of guiding high-profile, disruptive companies positions him well to support DailyPay’s ongoing evolution.
In welcoming Andersen, DailyPay reinforces its commitment to innovating in the worktech space. The company aims to modernise how employees are paid and how employers engage with their workforce. Research commissioned by DailyPay reveals that 93% of U.S. employers find the platform a valuable addition to their benefits package, with 89% willing to recommend it.
