UK fintech startup pirkx launches in Australia
Wellbeing benefits startup, pirkx, is launching its services in Australia, following successful seed funding rounds and successful launch in the UK market.
The UK fintech makes this exciting announcement with support from the Department for International Trade and Austrade through the FinTech Bridge programme.
Founded in 2018, pirkx launched its affordable wellbeing benefits service to everyone in the UK, aiming to improve health, wealth and happiness for all. The company offers an affordable wellbeing benefits package, available to all workers – whether self-employed, part of a small or large company, charity, or even for a client.
Following this international expansion, Australian workers will now be able to access the service directly through its Self-Serve platform on its website.
Stella Smith, pirkx CEO and Founder comments:
“pirkx started as a small idea to help friends in the gig-economy access wellbeing services. In those early stages, I would never have thought that we would expand to offer these services to people in Australia so quickly. It’s a really exciting moment.
“So far, we’ve seen success in creating something affordable to truly bring wellbeing benefits to everyone in the UK – whether you’re self-employed, an employee within a small or medium sized business or supporting as a volunteer within an organisation that may not have the facility to offer benefits. We’re delighted to expand our mission of Happier, Healthier Humans overseas and help make this happen.“The Austrade team and the Department for International Trade have been fantastic at helping guide us through the FinTech Bridge programme to launch us into Australia. I want to say a huge thankyou to them, and to my team as we look forward to working closely with Ella to support her in bringing the mission to Australia.”
