Our benefits
EAT, DRINK, AND STAY FOR LESS

POUNDS IN YOUR POCKET
We know that life is expensive for everyone, that’s why we’ve built financial support into our benefits to help. We’ve got you covered if you need to get paid early, access a grant for those unexpected life emergencies or shop for less at major UK retailers.
WELLNESS PERKS FIT FOR YOU
Your well-being is important whether in or out of work. And as everyone’s version of well-being is a little bit different, we offer flexible discounts on gym memberships, swimming, classes, spas, treatments, and more – so you can pick a package fit for you.
