New salary platform Advance, Sitel seal partnership
MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Newly-established on-demand salary platform Advance and business process outsourcing firm (BPO) Sitel sealed a partnership that will allow 43,000 employees easier access to their compensation.
“It’s very user-friendly, and also very accessible. It’s transparent in that they see right away what they’re eligible to borrow, and the moment they need it, they get it instantly sent to their bank account or e-wallet,” Advance CEO and Co-founder Jaime de los Angeles said.
“It’s very aligned with the needs of our partner, where we want to ensure that the employees are safe, the rates are fair, and the service is always reliable, 24/7. We don’t just offer them instant access to credit, but also peace of mind,” de los Angeles added.
The Advance digital platform offers financial tools like bills payment, wellness education, and even salary advances.
“Our partnership with Advance is very critical, not only for providing short-term assistance to our employees during times of emergencies, but also to help them attain even bigger and long-term financial goals,” said Pam Donato, Sitel’s vice president for HR.
