Financing option for SmartTech™ with Akira

Reward Gateway's unique net salary deduction technology scheme, SmartTech™, allows employees to buy white goods and consumer technology products instantly and affordably, with free financing from their employer.

Whether an employee faces the need to urgently replace white goods or is looking for the latest fitness tracker or laptop, employees can choose from over 5000 products from our trusted partner Currys and spread the cost via simple, convenient deductions to their net salary from their employer.   

For some businesses, footing the upfront costs that SmartTech necessitates when their employees make a purchase can create cashflow issues – which is why we are delighted to be able to provide an alternative financing option through our partner, Akira Financial. 

With this financing option, clients can spread the costs of employee purchases and therefore match the expenditure to the income received from employees; making the purchases cash neutral to the business.

Akira Financial was established in 2006 to provide specific financing for the HR community. Whilst Akira has grown into other areas of finance, its roots firmly remain in employee benefits. Akira has financed over £110m of assets all using its own balance sheet.
