Neem, a leading financial wellness platform, has announced its strategic partnership with Wackenhut, Pakistan’s premier cash-in-transit (CIT) vehicle provider for banking and financial institutions. Through this collaboration, Neem is enabling access to earned wages for Wackenhut’s 2,500 security guards nationwide, marking a significant milestone in financial inclusion for frontline workers.
Empowering Security Guards with Financial Flexibility
Security guards operating CIT vehicles play a critical role in ensuring the safe handling and transportation of cash for financial institutions. Many of these workers rely solely on monthly salaries to cover essential expenses and often resort to informal borrowing to bridge financial gaps. Neem’s Paymenow solution addresses this challenge by allowing security guards to access a portion of their earned salaries before payday—without falling into the cycle of high-interest debt.
Aligned with Shariah principles, Neem Paymenow ensures that employees can access their earnings responsibly, providing a much-needed financial cushion while eliminating reliance on informal lending sources.
Scaling Nationwide After a Successful Pilot
The initiative commenced with a pilot program that provided select Wackenhut employees with early wage access. The results demonstrated a clear positive impact, validating Neem’s approach to financial wellness. Encouraged by the pilot’s success, Neem and Wackenhut are now scaling the program to the company’s entire workforce, ensuring that all security guards benefit from financial flexibility and stability.
On-Ground Training and Digital Inclusion
Understanding that many blue-collar workers have limited exposure to digital financial services, Neem has gone beyond providing an app-based solution. As part of this initiative, the company conducted comprehensive on-ground training sessions tailored to the security guards’ needs. The sessions, delivered in local languages, covered essential topics such as app registration, earned wage withdrawal, and responsible financial management.
These hands-on training efforts have driven strong user adoption and satisfaction, ensuring that security guards can confidently access and utilize their earned wages without barriers.
Promoting Financial Literacy and Resilience
Neem Paymenow is not just about early wage access—it is designed to foster long-term financial resilience. The platform includes gamified financial education modules covering essential topics such as savings, budgeting, and fraud awareness. Employees who complete these mini-courses are incentivized with increased access to their earned wages, empowering them with both knowledge and financial flexibility.
Expanding Neem Paymenow Across Key Sectors
By enabling early wage access for Wackenhut’s workforce, Neem is setting a precedent for financial empowerment among Pakistan’s blue-collar workforce. The company is committed to expanding Neem Paymenow to other essential sectors, including retail, healthcare, security, manufacturing, and logistics—industries that employ a high number of frontline workers facing financial strain between paydays.
Neem Paymenow is already embedded in the employee benefits programs of leading organizations such as TCS, Sana Safinaz, and Union Fabrics. This partnership with Wackenhut further reinforces Neem’s mission of making financial wellness accessible to all salaried workers in Pakistan.
