Let’s be real—payday should feel good, not stressful. But for a lot of workers in the UAE, especially those earning lower incomes, the old ways of getting paid just aren’t working anymore. Long lines at exchange houses, waiting forever for bank transfers, or worrying about carrying cash? It’s a headache nobody wants.
Switching to digital payroll isn’t just about saving time for your business—it’s about giving your employees something better. Here’s why making the switch could make you the hero of payday.
1. Instant Access to Salaries (No More Waiting Around)
Instead of your employees making a run to exchange houses or ATMs, they get a quick notification on their phone saying, “Your salary’s here.” No delays, no running around.
For workers supporting families back home, this is a game-changer. With NOW Money, they can send money to their loved ones or handle their own expenses right away.

2. Banking Made Simple
A lot of workers aren’t able to have traditional bank accounts due to bank requirements and over-complicated products. But with NOW Money, that’s solved! NOW Money gives employees access to a mobile bank account (with an easy-to-understand mobile app) where they can receive their salary safely and securely.
What does that mean for your team?
- Saving is easier because they’re not carrying cash everywhere.
- It’s safer—no worries about losing money or having it stolen.
- It’s convenient—they can pay bills, top up their phones, or even shop online with their Mastercard debit card.
Take Ahmed, for example. He used to carry his salary home in cash, which was risky and stressful. Now, with NOW Money, he get it directly in his mobile bank account, can track his spending, and sends money home with just a few taps.
3. Less Cash = Less Stress
Carrying cash isn’t just old-fashioned—it’s risky. Employees worry about losing it, running out of change, or worse, getting robbed. When salaries go straight to a mobile bank account, those problems minimise drastically.
4. Better Money Management (Goodbye Payday Stress)
Most workers aren’t given the tools or resources to manage their money well. NOW Money digital payroll and mobile banking solution changes that. Employees can:
- See exactly how much they’ve been paid.
- Track their spending habits.
- Set savings goals.
Plus, the NOW Money team regularly makes visits to labor camps and worksites to answer any app questions, as well as to run financial literacy and fraud awareness sessions.
5. Trust and Transparency (No More Guessing Games)
One of the best things about NOW Money? It’s clear and straightforward. Your employees know exactly when their salary hits their account and how much they’ve received. This builds trust between you and your team.
With NOW Money, they can even check their payment history or breakdowns in the app anytime.
