Little has launched MySalary, a new platform that allows employees across Africa to access their earned wages on demand, no more waiting for monthly paydays.

Employees in Control of Their Salaries

Launched in Nairobi today, MySalary allows workers to withdraw parts of their accrued salary through a simple mobile app. This will reduce dependency on high interest loans and predatory lending practices.

“MySalary is a nano-lending platform that allows employees to have small salary advances based on the number of days they have worked in the month,” said Kamal Budhabhatti, CEO of Little, during the launch.

The platform has robust security features, ensuring safe and secure transactions that send funds directly to employees’ mobile money wallets or bank accounts.

How MySalary Works

MySalary integrates with existing payroll systems to calculate salaries in real-time. Employees can use the service by following these steps:

  1. Download the MySalary app from major app stores.

  2. Register employment details to link to the payroll system.

  3. View accrued salary based on workdays completed in the current pay cycle.

  4. Request a withdrawal to their preferred financial accounts.

By giving employees access to their earned salaries, MySalary fills a financial gap, a more sustainable alternative to short term loans.
