Why Employers Love Payroll Plus

Partners in Financial Wellbeing

At Northern Community Bank, Payroll Plus isn’t just a benefit – it’s a partnership. We work closely with employers to bring simple savings, affordable loans and financial wellbeing resources directly to employees through their wages. But don’t just take our word for it.

“We have partnered with Northern Community Bank for several years now and have consistently found their team to be both knowledgeable and understanding of our business needs. Our collaboration has been particularly strong in the area of communication. The Northern Community Bank representative maintains regular contact with us, providing ongoing support and timely updates on both existing and new products, which are shared digitally.

This approach aligns well with our internal processes, allowing us to distribute information to our employees via our internal hub. As a result, new employees can join the scheme at a time that is suitable for them without any pressure.”

As a commitment to supporting our employees’ financial wellbeing we’ve partnered with Northern Community Bank to become a Payroll Plus Partner, offering our team more financial options, guidance, and education.

Through this partnership, we’ve replaced our in-house Christmas Savings Scheme, aligning it with Northern Community Bank’s highly successful Christmas Savings account—which last year helped   account holders save over £650,000 and is protected by the FSCS up to £85,000. The whole process was seamless from start to finish. A member of the Northern Community Bank team presented the successful Payroll Plus scheme to us and as mentioned, we thought it to be an excellent option to support our employees. We then established interest from staff members and arranged a quick ten-minute slot with each employee with the efficient Northern Community Bank Staff who arranged sign up and account activation within 48 hours.”

“We are pleased to have created a new employee support scheme, focussing on support with financial management by becoming a Payroll Plus Partner with Northern Community Bank.

The partnership means we can provide our employees with more options, guidance and education when it comes to managing personal finances.”

Feedback from our employees has been very positive since we introduced Payroll Plus

“As an employee, it is great to see that the company are looking for ways to support us,   through additional activities like payroll saving schemes”.

“So many people are under pressure when it comes to personal and family financial management. It can be difficult to talk about money, no matter what age you are or circumstances you are in. People are easily embarrassed or worried they are letting others down. Schemes like this are a great way to promote and educate people in being pro-active and provide some means of self-help and reassurance that you can turn things round.”

“It’s free, doesn’t require any complicated forms or processes and is automatically managed through your wage payments each week”.

West House

“Working with the team at Northern Community Bank could not be any easier.  As a Payroll Officer at West House responsible for organising wage deductions it is vital that everything runs smoothly. Every month a spreadsheet is sent to Northern Community Credit Union detailing a breakdown of staff members funds needing to be deposited into the individual staff members’ account. The efficiency of the Northern Community Bank’s finance team means that typically funds reach the staff’s account that very same day.  As an organisation Northern Community Bank are a pleasure to deal with.”
