Company testimonials

“When I discovered Orka Pay, I thought it looked much better than our current solution! Not only is it completely automated, but it also gives the employee the privacy to manage this when they choose and at no cost to the employer.”

James Thomas,
Founder of Stepping Stones Leisure

getting started with orka pay

“Lots of people use it. They find it useful and helpful. It removes the stigma of having to ask your employer for a loan. It’s anonymous, and no one needs to know.”

Tim White, Operations Manager,
Little Ships Restaurant

“The employee doesn’t need to ask for an advance, which is really nice and empowering. Who wants to go and ask their employer for an advance? No one wants to be in that situation. The fact that you can just do it in private on your own mobile phone in two minutes is far nicer for the employee.”

The onboarding process with Orka Pay is quick and easy.

Let’s start with the commercial part of onboarding, which often follows a free, private non-commital demo.

  • The first step is performing a credit check, which has to be performed for all potential clients.
  • The steps after this consist of signing several documents. Throughout this process, you will have help and support from your Account Manager at every step.
  • Finally, we’ll create your account!

After this process is complete, we want to focus on launching Orka Pay to your staff – and telling the world about our partnership.

To start this process, our marketing team will get in touch with you to plan a public launch of Orka Pay, supplying you with digital and physical material to support the launch and employee uptake and also outlining resources and tutorials to get your staff started on Orka Pay.

Onboarding, activation and launch normally takes between 5 – 10 days, but for some companies with more complex structures, it can take longer.

Orka Pay charges a transaction fee. The first £50 pounds drawn per month for every user is free. Please refer to your commercial terms or speak to one of our team for more details.

Our interest fee is VAT exempt under current VAT legislation.

If a member of staff leaves, you are not at risk as Orka Pay will only give them access to shifts you’re already approved.

For Clients with Workforce Management System integration clients, you can deactivate your member of staff on your system as usual, and this will automatically pull through to Orka Pay. As a backup, even if they’re not deactivated in your systems, shifts will not be getting worked and recorded, so their Orka Pay balance will have £0 available.

For Portal upload clients, Remove the employee from the CSV sheets used when uploading onto the Orka Pay Portal. As long as you’re not uploading income for them, we will not be adding to their Orka Pay account.

This will be automatically emailed at your payroll cutoff date, which is pre-programmed into the system. The net deductions report will be redistributed with our subsequent invoices.

Your Account Manager will always guide you through this process to make sure you are processing the report correctly, so you’ll receive plenty of support and tutorials for this.

We provide the deduction report as a CSV with your pre-defined unique identifier. The unique identifier will enable you to map our CSV into your payroll software. Our deductions should be treated as net pay deductions after PAYE, NI, pensions and other statutory deductions.
We will be looking to automate this process in the near future.

For companies who do not use a Workforce Management System that is fully integrated with Orka Pay, we have the Portal Upload solution.

By simply uploading a CSV export once a week, all your employees will see their up-to-date balance in their app and be able to withdraw at their convenience.
Uploading once a week is usually enough for most businesses, but you can do more frequent uploads depending on employee demand.

Flexible Pay

Orka Pay gives you access to 50% of wages you’ve earned already. This allows you to cover unexpected expenses and stay in control of your finances.

Safe access to money

Orka Pay wants to give employees a safe alternative to expensive credit, costly payday loans and unreliable buy-now-pay-later schemes with safe, reliable and transparent access to your own wages.

Refer your employer

Transparent fees

You pay a flat fee on all withdrawals over £50. No hidden costs, terms, paybacks or tiny T&Cs. (Withdrawals under £50 are fee free!)

Download the app

Unexpected events can happen anytime. Why should your pay only happen once a month?

To get access to Orka Pay, your employer needs to set this up with us. If you already have access to Orka Pay, we can help you set up your account and get started.

“Whenever I need an advance, I log onto the app, see how much I can afford to take out, tap the “Agree” button, and it’s good to go. The money is literally in my account within 10 seconds.”

“If I have a bill that comes in or a fine – anything unexpected like that, I know I can pay it, and I haven’t got to wait until the end of the month.”
