What it covers

Earned wage accessbuilt for South African teams.

Earned wages, before payday.

Employees access a portion of what they’ve already earned — without waiting for month end. Powered by TymeBank. No loans, no interest, no debt.

No employer liability. Ever.

TymeAdvance is not an employer loan. TymeBank manages the advance directly with the employee. Your payroll runs exactly as normal at month end.

Integrated with your payroll.

TymeAdvance reads directly from your payroll data. No manual calculations, no separate systems — eligibility is always current.

How it works

Salary advance. Simplerthan you'd expect.

Access earned wages in minutes

Employees request an advance through the TymeBank app. The advance reflects immediately — no paperwork, no HR involvement.

  • Employees request advances via TymeBank app, 24/7
  • Access up to a set percentage of earned wages for the month
  • Funds deposited instantly — no waiting period

You set the rules, we handle the rest

Define eligibility and advance limits per employee group. HR retains full control over who can access TymeAdvance and how much.

  • Set advance caps as a percentage of net earned pay
  • Control eligibility by employee type, tenure, or department
  • Full visibility into take-up rates and advance history

Payroll runs exactly as normal

At month end, TymeBank deducts the advance at source before the net salary is paid. Your payroll calculations are unaffected.

  • Advance recovered by TymeBank directly — no employer action
  • No balance sheet impact, no liability on your books
  • Payslip reflects advance deduction automatically
Payroll runs exactly as normal

Powered by your payroll data

Salary advance. Zero admin.No employer risk.

TymeAdvance uses live payroll data to calculate each employee's advance eligibility. No manual inputs, no parallel spreadsheets.

Live payroll data drives eligibility

Advance limits update automatically as each pay period progresses — always accurate, always in sync.

No change to your payroll run

Month-end payroll processing is completely unchanged. TymeBank handles everything on their side.

Benefit for employees, not a burden for HR

Reduces financial stress and unplanned leave — without adding any work to your payroll team.
