Empowering workers with financial flexibility
Emerald Finance Ltd has announced a strategic partnership with Mumbai-based Shreeja Diamond & Jewellery Manufacturing LLP to introduce an Early-Wage Access program for its workforce. The initiative enables employees to withdraw a portion of their earned salary before the official payday, offering immediate financial relief and promoting responsible money management.
This move is part of Emerald Finance’s broader mission to expand its fintech offerings and serve underserved segments of the workforce. The program is designed to reduce reliance on payday loans and informal borrowing, which often come with high interest rates and financial stress.
How the program works
The Early-Wage Access model allows employees to request short-term salary advances, which are repaid through automatic deductions from their monthly pay. The process is fully digital, secure, and integrated into Emerald’s salary advance platform. Employees can access funds seamlessly through mobile or web interfaces, with real-time tracking and support.
Shreeja Diamond, known for its large workforce in jewelry manufacturing, sees this partnership as a way to boost employee morale and retention. By offering financial flexibility, the company aims to create a more supportive and productive work environment.
