ABHI Microfinance Bank has partnered with SOS Group and South Air to introduce Advance Salary solutions for employees, providing them with greater flexibility in accessing their earned income when required. The collaboration is aimed at helping employees manage everyday financial needs by allowing them to access a portion of their salary before the regular payday. The partnership brings together the microfinance bank and the two organisations to provide an employee-focused financial solution designed around access to already earned income.
Under the agreement, employees of SOS Group and South Air will have the ability to access a portion of their earned salary when they need it. The solution is intended to provide greater convenience in managing financial requirements that may arise between regular pay cycles. By providing access to earned income, the arrangement gives participating employees another way to manage short-term financial needs while maintaining greater control over their available funds.
The agreement was formally signed by Sohail Khan, Group Advisor at SOS Group, and Mariam Pervaiz, Chief Innovation and Financial Inclusion Officer at ABHI Microfinance Bank. The signing ceremony was attended by Kabeer Naqvi, Entrepreneur in Residence at ABHI Group, and Kanwar Muhammad Tariq, Group Chairman. The participation of representatives from the organisations involved marked the formalisation of the partnership and the introduction of the Advance Salary solution for the participating workforce.
The collaboration forms part of ABHI Microfinance Bank’s efforts to develop financial solutions focused on accessibility and financial inclusion. The bank is seeking to build partnerships that provide practical financial services to employees and individuals while giving them more flexibility in managing their earned income. Advance Salary solutions can provide employees with access to part of their salary before the normal payment date, allowing them to address financial requirements that may occur during the month.
For SOS Group and South Air employees, the partnership provides access to an additional financial facility linked to their earned salaries. Instead of waiting for the standard salary cycle, eligible employees can access a portion of their already earned income when required under the terms of the solution. This structure is intended to offer greater control over cash flow and provide employees with an option for managing routine expenses and other immediate financial requirements.
ABHI Microfinance Bank has continued to focus on partnerships aimed at extending financial services and developing solutions that respond to practical financial needs. The latest collaboration with SOS Group and South Air reflects this approach by connecting an employee benefit with access to earned income. The initiative also places financial flexibility within the broader context of financial inclusion, where access to suitable financial products can help individuals manage their finances more effectively.
The partnership also highlights the growing focus on workplace-based financial solutions in Pakistan, particularly those that provide employees with more control over when they can access income they have already earned. By introducing the Advance Salary solution through participating organisations, ABHI Microfinance Bank is extending its financial services to employees through an institutional partnership model.
The agreement between ABHI Microfinance Bank, SOS Group and South Air is therefore focused on providing a practical salary-access facility for participating employees. Through the solution, employees will be able to access a portion of their earned salary when needed, while the organisations involved seek to provide greater financial flexibility and convenience. ABHI Microfinance Bank said the partnership reflects its continued commitment to financial inclusion and to developing solutions that give individuals greater access, flexibility and control over their earned income.
