What is Happier?

Happier is the Financial Wellbeing Program that introduces employees to their financial habits.
A personalized six-week learning program helps participants to reflect on how they deal with their individual financial situation.
Users can learn more about their personal money stress profile and financial resilience strategies.

What exactly does 'financial flexibility' mean?

Happy offers employees early access to up to 33% of their monthly salary through a voucher system. If an employee expects a salary transfer of 3,000 euros net, they can therefore use in advance up to 1,000 euros for their daily needs, urgent expenses or to promptly fulfil their wishes. (Maximum limits and amounts are determined by our voucher partners).

The offer from the Happy partner network covers almost all areas of daily needs. Financial emergencies no longer affect daily life; even the wish for the latest gadget no longer has to wait for the pay check.

Why does my company need Happy?

With Happy’s salary-on-demand solution and Happier's Financial Wellbeing program, your company shows that you take your employees' wishes and concerns seriously.

Studies in the US show that similar solutions improve employee retention and recruitment, reduce absenteeism and increase workforce productivity.

Financial stress causes overall strain. With you as a partner, we take the first step towards greater financial well-being for your employees.

Who can use Happy?

Happy can be used by any company that wants to support its employees in becoming more financially flexible. No matter how many people your company employs, whether it be 3, 30 or 30,000.

How much does Happy cost?

Happy is free of charge. For employers as well as for employees. The economic situation poses great challenges for companies from all sectors.

For companies that register via the Happy platform until the end of March 2023, using Happy will remain free of charge.

How complex is it to integrate Happy?

Our HR benefit Happy works completely without integration. Once your company has been activated, Happy acts as an independent platform and is solely responsible for the services it offers.
As an employer, you are merely the enabler; you incur no further personnel or financial costs.

Who makes Happy?

Happy is a brand of Open Finance Lab GmbH. The HR solution is developed in Frankfurt/Main and Munich by a team of FinTech enthusiasts operating across Europe.

How does Happy earn money?

Happy does not charge companies or employees for its core service. The company derives income from long-term commission agreements with its partners.

What happens to the employees' data?

Happy verifies its users via the secure linking to their salary account. This is a particularly simple and secure way to confirm the employment relationship and the income.

Where required by law, the data is personalized. The user data remains on servers in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Happy does not pass on any data to third parties. Thus, for example, neither the employer knows about individual use, nor do we pass on information to SCHUFA.
