Little has officially launched MySalary, a first-of-its-kind platform that allows employees across Africa to access their earned wages on demand, eliminating the need to wait for the traditional monthly pay cycle.
The innovative service, unveiled today in Nairobi, gives workers the flexibility to withdraw portions of their salary anytime via a simple mobile application.
How MySalary Works
According to Kamal Budhabhatti, CEO of Little, MySalary is a nano-lending platform that lets employees access salary advances based on the number of days they’ve already worked in the month.
The platform ensures a seamless, secure experience, with transactions processed instantly and funds transferred directly to mobile money or bank accounts.
Key Features:
✅ Real-time salary tracking – Employees can see their accrued earnings as they work.
✅ Instant withdrawals – Wages can be accessed anytime during the month.
✅ Seamless integration – Connects with existing payroll systems with no additional cost for employers.
