• It only takes 10 mins to sign up - Registering only takes a few minutes and there are no hoops to jump through or stacks of paperwork to complete.
• Onboarding employees is fast - You take another 10 minutes to provide us with a list of your employees and their emails - and we take care of the rest.
• There's no set enrollment period - Unlike with traditional benefits where there's typically an annual enrollment period, you can onboard employees any time rather than rolling out a big campaign every year.
• Administering the benefits program is simple - If you did it by yourself, you'd need to administer each claim which includes verifying each receipt is legitimate, making sure the employee still has money left in the Benefit Wallet and transferring the money from your corporate bank account into theirs. We do all this for you so you can use your time on what you do best.

With the Benefit Wallet, employees save time because:

• The onboarding process is fast - Once employees have their Benefit Wallet, they only need to take a few minutes to allocate their benefit dollars to available options (for example, a healthcare spending account or wellness spending account).
• It only takes a few minutes to make a claim - Long forms are a thing of the past! To make a claim, employees simply upload a picture of the receipt and fill out three fields: the claim amount, the expense type and the receipt date.
