Wellness stipends, learning budgets, remote work allowances

Flexible employee benefits, delivered via wallet

Give employees a monthly benefit budget. They choose how to spend it at approved merchants. Employers get compliance reporting and better ROI on benefits.

The problem

What's not working with current solutions

Traditional benefits have low engagement

Health club memberships go unused. Vague wellness programs don't motivate employees. Money spent, value unrealized.

One-size-fits-all doesn't fit anyone

Some employees want gym, others want mental health support, others want ergonomic gear. Standard benefits satisfy none of them well.

Managing multiple benefit providers is expensive

HR juggles vendors, reimbursements, invoices. Employees jump through hoops. Everyone loses time.

How it works

The 7Konto approach for employee benefits

1

Employer configures benefit program

Set monthly stipend amount, approved merchant categories (fitness, wellness, learning, coworking), roll-over rules.

2

Employees get benefit card in wallet

Wallet card shows current balance. Push notifications for balance updates and new partner merchants.

3

Employee spends at approved partners

Gym, yoga studio, therapy platform, learning platform, coworking space — any partner in the network accepts the card.

4

Automatic monthly refresh

Balance refreshes each month. Unused amounts can carry over or expire per your policy.

5

Employer sees engagement data

Which employees are using benefits, which categories are popular, ROI on the program. Anonymized reporting.

FAQ

Common questions from employee benefits businesses

What if we don't have merchant partners in some cities?

We help build the merchant network in your key locations. For remote workers in various cities, we can approve reimbursement claims (upload receipts) or work to add local merchants. Global online partners (learning platforms, meditation apps) work everywhere.

Can employees suggest new partner merchants?

Yes. Built-in feature: employees can request adding merchants they use regularly. HR approves, we onboard the merchant, they join the network. Everyone benefits.

What about privacy? Do employers see individual transactions?

Employers see aggregate data by category, but not individual employee transactions (unless required for compliance/audit). Employees see their own detailed history. Privacy-first design.

How is this different from a debit card or expense reimbursement?

Category restrictions and merchant network. A debit card is open-loop — employees can spend anywhere. Our benefit card is closed-loop — only approved merchants and categories. Reimbursements are painful for everyone; our model is real-time and doesn't require receipts.
