Tiering Plan

Socially and financially responsible

Paymenow takes employees’ best interests to heart by encouraging in-app financial education through gamification. By taking employees on a financial wellness and inclusion journey through financial education, employees earn Paymenow points and advance through tiers to achieve greater access to already earned wages at discounted fees.

Tiering through financial education

Employees earn points by successfully completing education modules, financial questionnaires and credit checks

Forget What You Know

A few good reasons to choose Paymenow

South Africa has 25 million active credit customers, and more than 10 million of them are behind on their payments. As such, the population of people looking for access to liquidity is enormous. For the time being, Paymenow is partnering with big and small businesses in the mining, logistics, financial services, call-centers and other sectors that typically employ underserved individuals, to be able to reach low-income, salaried people. The total market size includes 11 million employed people in South Africa.
