eTip, the award-winning digital tipping platform designed for the hospitality and service sectors, announced a new partnership with Visa to enable real-time payments directly to participating digital wallets. This integration will allow service professionals-from hotel housekeepers to restaurant servers-to instantly transfer earnings to financial apps like Venmo and PayPal, eliminating the traditional wait times of multiple business days.
As tipping increasingly shifts from cash to digital, eTip’s collaboration with Visa leverages Visa Direct, a real-time push payments platform, to streamline fund transfers with speed, security, and ease. By embedding directly into existing payroll and tipping workflows, this solution not only automates the payout process but also enhances operational efficiency while improving worker satisfaction and retention.
“At eTip, we believe service workers are the backbone of the economy, and they deserve a fast, transparent, and accessible way to manage their earnings,” said Nicolas Cassis, co-founder and CEO of eTip. “With cash transactions declining, it’s critical that tipping evolves to meet the needs of today’s workforce. Our integration with Visa Direct makes it easier than ever for workers to access their hard-earned money quickly, empowering them with financial stability and control. By removing barriers to financial security, we are helping to ensure that tipping truly serves the people who rely on it most.”
