Salary benchmarks
Our take
Whether a function of genuine care or increased efficiencies, companies are increasingly looking to secure the financial wellness of their employees. Salary Finance delivers a suite of products for this purpose, all integrated into employers’ payroll systems.
Offering a range of financial wellbeing products, Salary Finance is unique for its unusually low default rate, which arises from the security of deducting repayments directly from a borrower’s salary, and the extra information it gains about its customers by tapping into their HR systems. Originating in the UK, the company expanded to the US to bring low-cost loans to working Americans. Its US arm has since merged with FinFit to form the "pre-eminent financial wellness platform" in the US.
Though Salary Finance faces significant competition from other startups like Neyber and Wagestream, that are also attempting to fix the "payday problem", few have been able to effectively provide as impressive a range of options as this startup. There is every reason to assume the company will build on its past success, and forge a path into a favourable future.
