What is Refyne’s Salary On-Demand? Is it similar to a personal or payday loan? Or a credit card?

Refyne's Salary On-Demand provides employees instant access to earned wages before payday, eliminating the need for credit history or checks. Unlike credit cards, no approvals or credit checks are required.

For larger needs, the app allows borrowing with eligibility checks. A small convenience fee is charged for short-term withdrawals, unlike personal loans that entail interest, handling charges, and documentation fees.

How are short-term and long-term needs met by Salary On-Demand?

Short-term cash shortfall can be met by withdrawals from the earned portion of the salary, before payday. This can cater to mid-month emergencies, small medical bills, or unexpected payments. These are then deducted at the time of salary credit.

Long-term needs such as planning for a dream purchase is also catered to by Salary On-Demand. Employees can borrow more than their salary, depending on some eligibility checks. The EMIs for these borrowings are calculated monthly and deducted at the end of each month, say in 3, 6, or 9 months.

How much can an employee withdraw at a time? How many times in a month can the employee withdraw salary?

An employee can withdraw a portion of their accrued salary for a transaction fee. The number of withdrawals can be customised by the employer in their agreement.

Can an employee withdraw more than the monthly salary?

A larger borrowing (up to 1.5 x) is possible after some qualification checks. These amounts can be repaid in a similar manner as an EMI, at the end of every month. EMIs can be repaid in 3, 6, or 9 months.

How long does it take for the employee to access the funds? Is there any impact on his credit score?

The employee will be able to get funds into their account within 60 seconds of placing a withdrawal request.

There is no impact on the credit score for short-term withdrawals as it is not a loan but an access to their accrued salary.

How is Refyne’s Salary On-Demand different from a personal or payday loan? Is it similar to a credit card?

Refyne’s Salary On-Demand helps you access your salary before payday.

Refyne offers short-term access from your own earned wages via a withdrawal through the Refyne App. You don’t need to wait for approvals.

For larger monetary needs, the Refyne app allows borrowings after certain eligibility checks. There are pre-qualification checks in place for employees planning to avail mid to long-term credit.

Additionally, a small slab-based convenience fee is charged to the employee - you. It is based on the transaction amount for short-term withdrawals. With personal or payday loans, however, you pay a high interest on the overall credit utilised, in addition to handling charges, documentation charges, and more. This is an additional difference.

How much can I withdraw?

The limits for withdrawals and the number of withdrawals are set by your employer. You would have access to a portion of your earned salary.

How soon are funds available to me?

The short-term withdrawals can be available in your account in 60 seconds.

Will the withdrawal impact my credit score?

A short-term withdrawal will not impact your credit score, because it is not a loan.
