Benefits for how your team actually lives

Phone bill subsidies, co-working day passes, and café credits — for hybrid teams who work everywhere.

Hybrid work has changed what 'work costs' means. For employees working from home or on the road, the phone bill, the co-working day pass, and the café where they take client calls are real business expenses that come out of personal income. The lifestyle benefit puts that right.

A bundle of lifestyle credits covering the everyday costs of modern work: mobile phone top-ups loaded directly to employee numbers, co-working space day passes, and café credits for partner locations. Especially valuable for hybrid and remote teams.

For HR

Why companies choose this.

Support hybrid workers

Hybrid teams have real costs that office workers don't — home internet, phone bills, co-working spaces. This benefit addresses that directly.

High perceived value, low cost

Phone bill top-ups and café credits are low-cost to fund but highly visible to employees who use them weekly.

Works everywhere you operate

We activate local telcos, co-working spaces and cafés per city — not just in one market.

For employees

Why employees love it.

Phone credit in 15 minutes

Confirm your operator, hit confirm. Your airtime loads within 15 minutes. SMS from your network confirms it.

Work from anywhere

Co-working day passes let you escape home or skip a long commute. Pick a space near you on any given day.

Café tab included

Generate a QR for a partner café and use it all day — coffee, lunch, or just a quiet desk.

Why not just pay a home-office allowance?

Home-office allowances disappear into general expenses — employees can't tell you a month later what they spent it on. A lifestyle credit is used for lifestyle: phone, café, co-working. It's visible, frequent, and associated with your brand every time they tap their card at the café counter. That daily association is what builds loyalty.

Who it's for

Built for how your team actually works.

Hybrid and remote teams

The lifestyle benefit was designed for this cohort. Phone, café, co-working — these are their actual work costs.

Sales and client-facing roles

Reps who take calls from cafés and co-working spaces spend real money on those environments. This covers it.

Tech companies and startups

Companies with flexible work cultures use lifestyle benefits to formalise the implicit support for remote-friendly working.

Younger workforce demographics

Café culture and co-working are natural environments for younger employees. This benefit resonates particularly well with teams aged 22–35.

The difference

What changes when you switch.

Remote employees absorb phone and workspace costs personally

Monthly lifestyle credit covers phone and workspace costs

No company support for co-working spaces

40+ co-working partners in major cities

Ad-hoc expense claims for work-from-home costs

No receipts, no claims — credit in app

Office workers get a canteen; remote workers get nothing

Equitable benefit for office and remote workers

Benefits package feels irrelevant for hybrid staff

Benefits package designed for how they actually work

We're fully remote. Our team doesn't have an office canteen or free coffee. The lifestyle benefit — especially the café credit — was our way of replacing what office-based companies take for granted. Employees mention it in every people survey we run.
