A transparent framework that generates 8-12% ethical returns through earned wage access
GPOD's ethical investment model creates returns through a simple, transparent system that brings together workers, employers and investors without exploitative interest charges.
Investors contribute to GPOD's ethical wage fund, with tiered entry points starting at £1,000.
Workers access wages they've already earned before payday through the GPOD app.
Workers pay a simple £2.50 flat fee per withdrawal—never a percentage or interest rate.
Transaction fees are distributed: 70-85% to investors, remainder for platform operations.
On payday, employers reconcile withdrawn wages, ensuring capital security and fund replenishment.
