Innovative ethereum wage service: a revolution in wage payments
What's better than buying ethereum? Well, earning ethereum!
With our new service for ethereum wage payments, you can have part of your salary paid out directly in ethereum by your employer free of charge.
Increasing demand
In view of the ever-increasing interest, especially from SMEs with tech-savvy employees, we decided to develop a special service for companies that want to pay their employees in ethereum.
The result is our brand new ethereum wage service!
This service addresses the complexity of temporary storage, transfer, accounting and taxation of ethereum and simplifies these processes considerably. Companies and their employees benefit from all the functions of Pocket's in-house ethereum infrastructure, which is operated in Switzerland.
HINT Ltd. as a partner and customer
We have developed and tested our new service for ethereum wage payments in close cooperation with HINT Ltd.
HINT Ltd. is a Swiss company and leading provider of ICT services for the healthcare sector. They are now the first company to use our new service and have successfully made their first salary payments in ethereum to their employees.
"With our new ethereum wage service, we are taking another important step towards wider acceptance of ethereum in the business world," explains David Knezić, CEO of Pocket Ethereum
How it works - a simple process
1️⃣ Fiat transfer: The employer transfers the desired wage amount to Pocket instead of to the employee's bank account.
2️⃣ Money exchange: Pocket assigns the wage payment to the employee's wallet and exchanges it for ethereum free of charge.
3️⃣ Payment: The employee automatically receives their share of the wage in ethereum into their own wallet.
Advantages for employers and employees
Our new product offers exciting and attractive benefits for employers and employees. On the one hand, companies can use the optional additional benefit to make themselves more attractive on the job market. In addition, such a forward-looking benefit promotes an environment in which innovation and dialogue on new trends are welcome.
Employees, in turn, benefit from free currency exchange at the current exchange rate. By receiving ethereum as part of their salary, employees also avoid the pressure of timing their purchases and potentially missing out on favourable price points.
As the market leader in managed ICT services for healthcare providers in Switzerland, we are constantly endeavouring to implement innovative solutions. The option of paying our employees part of their salary in ethereum is an exciting approach that demonstrates our commitment to innovation and also brings added value for our employees." – Markus Goldschmid, CEO of HINT Ltd.
