WagePoint Payment Solution

Employers are seeking a cost-effective solution for paying out wages to staff in a more efficient, convenient and secure manner than they currently utilize.

Generally most wage payouts are done via daily or weekly payments with security companies delivering cash to site and management undergoing an extensive operation to distribute this in volume.  The workers themselves are often concerned as to their risk of carrying an entire week’s wage in their pocket until they can deposit their cash or spend it and later they may waste time in long queues depositing their money. 

We have developed WagePoint, an ATM based wage payment solution that reduces the risk and administrative issues associated with cash payment of wages.

The objectives and benefits of the WagePoint solution are:

  • Reduce cash payroll (security) risk for the corporate and the worker
  • Reduce costs of packing envelopes, accounting and reconciling wages
  • Provide un-banked workers with a secure cash payment/management solution
  • Create further payout efficiencies, including more worker productivity
  • Provide more convenience to both employee and employer
  • Keep any cost increments for innovative technology as low as possible
East African Growers and Delmonte Kenya Limited, through their banks, are examples of organizations using WagePoint ATMs to pay wages to their employees. The management of these WagePoint ATMs is handled by Paynet.
