Latoya and her experience with Wagestream

 

Honesty—it's one of the many reasons we love Latoya, a dedicated gate line stewardess with Carlisle Support Services. Latoya, who uses Wagestream through her employer, is a regular participant in our co-creation workshops. She’s quick to share her insights, telling us openly what she loves (and what she doesn’t) about the app and giving valuable feedback on how we can further support her financial well-being.

 

In this video, Latoya shares her experience with Wagestream, offering a personal perspective on how the app has impacted her day-to-day life. Working on the overground, Latoya ensures passengers have a smooth and hassle-free journey. She describes her role, saying:

 

“My name is Latoya Woodhall, and my job title is a gate line stewardess. We work on the overground; we have to get our passengers to where they’re going on their journey without any hassle.”

 

Latoya’s first impression of Wagestream was positive and impactful. She recognised right away how the app could be a valuable resource. She explains:

 

“When I first discovered Wagestream, I found that it was really, really useful. Not only do they give an advance on your shifts for your wages, but they've also given you an opportunity to save money with them.”

 

Beyond early access to wages, Latoya highlights how the app has helped her develop healthier financial habits:

 

“It taught me discipline on how to save and not to spend,”

 

Emphasising the practical value of this new financial awareness, the support from Wagestream has made a real difference in her life, especially during challenging times:

 

“It's really helped me in my time of need, and I’m glad that we have got it.”

 

Latoya’s story is one of resilience and positivity. Her journey is a testament to the impact financial wellness tools like Wagestream can have, offering practical support and building healthy habits that last.
