"Honestly there isn’t anything negative to say. There's no drawback to it. It's just positive. We were cautious in the beginning and weren't necessarily sure whether this was the right thing for us, but that’s just dissipated now. All gone! It's completely bought into from board level as something that the bank now offers as a real positive."

Access EarlyPay in the news: How can businesses support employee wellbeing?
As the cost of living crisis and wider financial headwinds continue to put strain on household budgets, there’s no doubt that these macroeconomic considerations must rank highly in employers’ wellbeing strategies.
Abhishek Agrawal, director of Access EarlyPay, commented on a recent feature for Management Today, discussing the role that early access to wages that have already been earned can have to “empower” employees to take control of their finances.
Access EarlyPay allows 24 hour access to accrued salaries of our workforce, but with minimal administrative impacts on the business.
The impact on the business has been huge as our employees would regularly ask for advances and it took many man hours to organise the delivery of this. The transitional cost saving from this makes life easier for both us and our employees.
I’ve seen that we’re increasing hours, yet it feels like we’re decreasing recruitment. It’s the prevention of resignations, the reduction of churn that’s the strongest element for me.
