Commenting on the partnership, Khurram Merchant, Global Head of Total Rewards & People Analytics at NFL, said the initiative reflects the company’s long-term commitment to supporting its workforce. “By giving our employees access to their earned wages, we are not only reducing financial stress but also enabling them to take control of their financial journey,” he added.
The collaboration marks a growing trend among companies in Pakistan adopting financial wellness tools to support their employees and improve workplace productivity.
