Asda workers can now access their monthly wage early - but there is a catch

Asda has confirmed 140,000 employees will be able to access their pay early as families continue to battle against rising costs.

The supermarket chain has signed up to financial app Wagestream, which allows employees early access of up to 50% of their earned contracted pay.

Asda workers will not have to pay anything to get their pay for the first time.
