A global leader in workforce payment solutions.

For more than 20 years, EML has been helping organisations deliver payments to their people. As the leading provider of salary packaging payments in Australia and one of the largest employee rewards providers in Ireland, we've built the expertise, infrastructure and controls behind workforce payments that scale.

Today, that expertise extends across the workforce experience, from salary packaging, employee expenses and earned wage access through to employee rewards and incentives, giving providers and employers one platform to move money, apply the right controls and deliver more value to their people.

Making workforce payments simpler to use and manage.

Give employees a simpler way to access money and benefits with the rules, controls and reporting organisations need to manage the program.

Make money easier to access

Deliver benefits, wages, expenses and rewards through physical or digital payment experiences that put funds in employees’ hands when they need them.

A rewards program with greater freedom and choice

Increase employee engagement with more powerful rewards and incentives compared to traditional payment methods.

Keep control without creating friction

Apply the right controls at authorisation from merchant and category restrictions to program-specific eligibility and spending rules, with the data and visibility to manage programs confidently while keeping the employee experience simple.

Keep workforce spend inside the program

Give employees a practical way to pay while helping providers and employers capture more eligible spend, reduce off-platform claims and maintain program oversight.

See what is happening as it happens

Track funds from disbursement to spend with full audit traceability, helping ensure payments reach the intended recipient and are used as intended.

Better for the provider, the employer and the employee

Effortless for you. Meaningful for them.

Bring benefits, rewards and workforce spend together in experiences employees value and HR and Finance teams can manage more easily.

Less administration.
‍More control.

Program rules apply as employees spend, so your controls are built in rather than checked after the fact.

Strengthen your employee proposition

Offer more flexible ways to reward, incentivise and support your people, helping create a workforce experience that stands out.

Help every employee get more from their money

Make it easier for people to access earned wages, maximise eligible benefits and allowances and receive meaningful rewards.

Take work out of HR and Finance

Automate more of the payment, benefit and reward experience, with program tools, reporting and support that reduce the administration sitting with internal teams.

No bank account needed

Where permitted and agreed with the employee, provide an alternative way to receive pay without requiring a traditional bank account.

Value beyond the payment

Eligible merchant offers and discounts are built into the program, without separate vouchers, codes or loyalty cards (Product capabilities vary by region. Contact our sales team for details).

One regulated payments partner behind your program.

You own the employer relationship. We run the regulated infrastructure underneath it when required.
