SANBS streamlines employee birthday gifting

The problem

SANBS faced challenges in distributing birthday vouchers to employees. The traditional voucher systems were difficult for employees to use – particularly for those who were less tech savvy. The vouchers had limited usability, restricting where employees could redeem them, making the process frustrating and inefficient.

The solution

SANBS turned to PayCentral’s reloadable transactional card solutions to address these issues. They opted for GiftCentral card products as a simple and versatile solution to provide employees with birthday gifts and streamline the process of distributing these gifts to them.

The implementation process was seamless, allowing SANBS to load cards in bulk or individually, accommodating the month-to-month number fluctuation of employee birthdays.

The results

The switch to GiftCentral cards significantly enhanced the birthday gift distribution process at SANBS. Employees could now use their birthday cards effortlessly, regardless of their technological proficiency. The flexibility of the transactional cards allowed employees to make purchases at a wide range of retailers, vastly improving their experience.With the ability to reload these cards, SANBS now has a long-term solution for their birthday rewards.
