Century Pacific Agricultural Ventures Inc. (CPAVI), a key player in coconut-based exports and a proud subsidiary of Century Pacific Food Inc., is revolutionizing employee financial wellness through a partnership with Paywatch. The company has officially rolled out Earned Wage Access (EWA) as a modern employee benefit—a timely move that places worker well-being at the core of sustainable business practices.
With its reputation as a trusted manufacturing partner for global brands like Vita Coco, CPAVI continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovation—not only in product quality but also in workplace culture. By offering access to earned wages before payday via Paywatch, employees are now empowered to manage everyday financial challenges without falling into debt cycles commonly associated with high-interest loans.
“We chose Paywatch because it’s a progressive, responsible solution,” said Noel Tempongko Jr., Vice President and General Manager of CPAVI. “Instead of resorting to short-term loans, our people can access a portion of their earnings with a flat nominal fee. It’s about giving them control and peace of mind through Earned Wage Access.”
Earned Wage Access operates on a simple, sustainable model. It allows automatic salary settlements every pay cycle, eliminating the burden of long-term financial obligations. This approach has gained traction across industries, with EWA shown to improve quality of life, reduce financial stress, and encourage smarter money habits.
A recent study supported by the UN International Labour Organization (ILO) revealed that 80% of users reported a better quality of life and 76% found it easier to manage finances thanks to EWA.
Paywatch, the pioneering fintech behind the solution, is on a mission to foster financial dignity and reduce household debt. Its services go beyond EWA, integrating tools like bill payments, savings, and insurance—all aimed at building long-term financial stability.
Through this partnership, CPAVI not only boosts workplace satisfaction but also champions a future where Filipino workers are equipped with the tools to thrive—financially and beyond.
