Managing Your Swag Spend Account

Earned wage access allows you to access your money as you earn it and make your money work for you and your needs. No more waiting for payday. Earned wage access is available to employees of an organisation that uses an HRIS and Payroll Connection, and is accessed by employees via the Swag app only. Read more about Earned wage access, and see if you are eligible.

Pay Split lets you choose where and how to split your salary. You can choose to process your payment into your Swag Spend Account or split your pay into multiple bank accounts.

Before choosing to split your salary, check with your payroll administrators to find out if they have a cut-off date for any salary payment changes. Read more about Pay Split.

You can have your pay go into one bank account or multiple accounts. Currently, you cannot add another bank account to your Swag profile via the Swag app, so you will need to login to your employer's HRIS connection to add another bank account.

Where you think a transaction is an unauthorised transaction or is otherwise incorrect, please get in touch with us immediately via the Swag app and provide as much information as you can about the relevant transaction so we can investigate further.

There are specific circumstances and time frames where we can claim a refund for a disputed transaction. This means that our ability to investigate a disputed transaction is limited to the time frames imposed by payment service providers and card schemes (like Visa) that we deal with, so it is important to let us know as soon as possible after you become aware of a disputed transaction.
