Quicksalary is a social impact startup that helps employees in Nigeria avoid payday loans, which are criticized for their high interest rates. We achieve this by allowing employees to get paid immediately for the work done and not on a monthly or weekly basis.

The traditional month end payday is difficult on many employees who often experience stress, anxiety, and negative financial consequences as a result of this access to cash shortage, Quicksalary solves this problem by working with companies to implement a system where the employees can access their salaries immediately after work.
