Abhi Saudi, operated by Alraedah Digital Solutions, has signed a partnership with Qlub. The agreement gives Qlub employees access to ABHI’s Earned Wage Access (EWA) service.
Qlub is a Dubai-based fintech company founded in 2021. It provides QR-based payment solutions for restaurants, allowing diners to view menus, place orders, and pay bills using their smartphones without downloading an app. The company operates in over 3,000 venues across markets including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, Brazil, Qatar, Kuwait, and South Korea.
Under the ABHI partnership, Qlub employees can access a portion of their earned salary at any point during the month. Requests are submitted through ABHI’s digital interface. Funds are transferred upon approval.
“Qlub has signed a cooperation agreement with ABHI to provide Qlub employees with access to ABHI’s earned salary advance service. This step comes as part of Qlub’s ongoing efforts to offer practical benefits that support employees and help them manage their daily financial needs with greater flexibility. ABHI provides a simple, fast experience, allowing employees to submit requests through an easy-to-use interface, with quick processing and the transfer of funds. This makes the service a practical and convenient option whenever needed,” said Fahad Almutairi, People Lead, Qlub.
ABHI’s salary advance solution is a solid alternative to traditional loans, which are not immediately available to many workers. Lending products embedded directly within the payout systems ghave potential to bridge financial gaps and empower underbanked communities, thus also improving employee financial well-being.
“Earned Wage Access is not just a financial tool; it’s a shift toward more productive workplaces. By partnering with Qlub, we are enabling employers to support their teams better, while giving employees the flexibility and control they need to manage their financial lives with confidence,” said Omair Ansari, Co-Founder and CEO of ABHI.
On-demand or instant earned wage access (EWA) solutions are getting popular since they change when people can access money they have already earned, without waiting for the traditional payday cycle. Many expenses like rent, food, transport, or bills don’t always align with payday timing. At the same time, a large share of workers live paycheck to paycheck and often or even regularly need to apply for loans to cover daily expenses.
