South Africa’s most affordable and accessible wage-access software.
SmartWage gives employers the ability to offer their employees access to their wages as they have earned them.
The problem:
80% of employees require unsecured loans to make ends meet because they have to wait to be paid.
This problem has been magnified by the worst economic crisis in a century. People need access to finance now more than ever. The question we’re asking is why can’t we access our wages as we earn them?
Our vision:
Create a future where no one should have to wait to be paid.
