What makes
Universal Access different
Universal by default
100% eligibility from day one.
No KYC roadblocks, no admin, no payroll risk.
Frictionless
Regulated & credible
Designed within FCA frameworks with FSCS deposit coverage.
Behaviour-led
Defaults and simple choices drive real participation.
Short-term savings drive resilience. Even a few hundred pounds reduces stress, prevents problem debt, and improves stability at work and at home.
Defaults work: many employers start at £20–£40/month.
Once people start, behaviour compounds — more contributions, more goals, more control.
Small beginnings. Lasting impact.
Why it matters
UNIVERSAL ACCESS PAYROLL SAVINGS
Why now
Financial stress is rising. Employees expect support. Regulators care about resilience, not just pensions. Employers need solutions that actually reach people.
Universal Access makes that possible at scale.
Frequently asked questions
-
The UK’s first Payroll Savings product designed so every employee can save, from day one, without friction.
No forms.
No document uploads.
No KYC dead ends.
Just simple, inclusive saving—built into payroll.
Through our FCA-approved framework, we’ve redesigned how savings accounts can be opened and funded via payroll, while maintaining regulatory standards, consumer protection, and FSCS coverage through our deposit-taking partners.
The result is a saver-first experience that feels:
familiar (like pension saving)
flexible (easy access, goal-based)
and genuinely inclusive
-
Every employee is eligible from day one – regardless of background, previous access to financial products, or confidence navigating financial systems.
We made this possible by working closely within the regulatory framework to ensure this model is compliant, secure, and scalable – partnering with the FCA and FSCS-protected deposit takers from the outset.
-
The proprietary Sync framework (which is approved by the FCA) means every employee is instantly eligible for a Sync Savings account, without any risk or liability to payroll.
We operate the end-to-end infrastructure so your teams don’t have to:
Seamless payroll deductions reporting aligned to any pay cycle
Secure savings account opening and management management with our FSCS protected deposit takers
Apps with full and instant account management functionality as well as goal tracking and progress updates
All regulatory, safeguarding, and reporting obligations handled automatically
Full support for both employers and employees wrapped into a holistic financial wellness product
-
Nope!
No lengthy forms, no document uploads, no KYC dead-ends, just a beautiful, simple and very slick saver centric experience. This is a first-of-its-kind model that treats short-term savings as a mainstream workplace benefit – accessible to all from day one. -
Absolutely: Universal Access paves the way for this approach. You'll simply need to make a small tweak to employment contracts (so that all new joiners are auto-enrolled) and we'll take it from there.
