NIGERIA – Nigerian fintech that provides flexible and on-demand salary access to income-earners, Earnipay has partnered with OnePipe to offer fast and frictionless financial transactions.

The partnership sets the stage for Earnipay to further scale its service to over 200,000 employees before the end of 2022 and rapidly expand across the African region.

Launched in 2022, Earnipay partners with employers and seamlessly integrates with their payroll systems to offer its services to employees, who can then track and withdraw their accrued salaries via the app.

The app offers employees the opportunity to access their earned salaries into their accounts flexibly, in real-time, and interest-free.

The platform’s Flexible Salary Access helps organizations improve employee engagement and productivity by relieving financial stress caused by eliminating the need for a salary advance or predatory payday loans with interest rates.

The start-up aims to eliminate the 30-day payday cycle in Nigeria that limits employees’ access to earned salaries during emergencies.

We are constantly improving the way that we serve our primary customers; employers and employees, and our adoption of the robust APIs available on the OnePipe gateway is in line with our commitment to offering financial freedom to businesses,” said Nonso Onwuzulike, Earnipay founder and CEO

For employers, this is freedom from the challenges that come with poor performance and staff turnover created by employees having to deal with financial struggles.

Meanwhile, OnePipe’s fundamental promise is to work with its partners to achieve customer intimacy and operational excellence through embedded finance.

According to OnePipe’s CEO, Ope Adeoye, “We keep to this promise daily by ensuring that the OnePipe gateway delivers world-class service on time, every time.”

Earnipay choosing OnePipe as they progress on this laudable journey is a further incentive for OnePipe to keep to its promise.”

Since its inception, Earnipay’s flexible Salary Access has helped organizations improve employee engagement and productivity by relieving financial stress caused by eliminating the need for a salary advance or predatory payday loans with interest rates.

 In February this year, the start-up raised US$4 million in seed financing to facilitate the Nigerian employees’ salaries.

Earnipay has served over 20 businesses, outsourcing firms, and H.R. solution providers in Nigeria, Since operating in beta.

Some of its clients include Eden Life and Thrive Agric, whose “thousands of employees” have used the app to access their salary over 1,000 times.
