About us

Fixing global benefits. For good.

Global benefits are complex by design — multiple markets, shifting regulations, numerous providers, and disconnected workflows. Legacy systems were never built for this reality. Ben brings clarity to that complexity.

What we believe

We believe benefits should make sense — for everyone.

Employees shouldn’t have to navigate confusing rules or outdated processes. Reward teams shouldn’t spend their days chasing providers or fixing spreadsheet errors. Leaders shouldn’t make decisions without trustworthy data.

Benefits only work when people understand them — and when the systems behind them do, too.

What we believe

At the heart of our mission lies ourthe belief in creating a world that works at its best. We truly believe that benefits play a pivotal role in reshaping the world of work. Instead of simply sustaining livelihoods, work now has the power to shape lives. In this post-pandemic world, the traditional idea of work-life balance is giving way to a more holistic work-life integration.

People now view work as a way of enhancing their lives, and there's an ever-increasing demand for employers to facilitate this transformation.

We've moved beyond achieving balance through the artificial separation of work and life to achieve balance. Instead, we think it’s much more important to embrace their connection. Ben is the connecting force through which companies can foster this dynamic with their teams.

Challenges we're tackling

Archaic tech. Global complexity. Fragmented data. Misaligned providers. Employees who don’t understand what they have. These forces create billions of wasted spend, and endless manual work. Ben exists to solve the structural problems holding global benefits back.

Where we started

In 2019, co-founders David and Seb came together with the same realisation from two different perspectives: the benefits system is fundamentally broken.

Seb, as UK Managing Director at Secret Escapes, lived the complexity, admin, and operational strain of managing benefits programmes across markets. David, from his background at HSBC, saw how modern payments infrastructure could transform the entire system end-to-end.

Together, they set out to change employee benefits for good.

Where we are now

Today, we’re a team of over 100 people focused on one mission: turning global benefits complexity into clarity.

We support employees around the world, managing tens of millions in benefits spend across more than 140 countries, and helping enterprises move from fragmented, error-prone processes to a dependable, unified model.

Every day, we see how clarity transforms understanding, engagement, and trust — for employees and for the teams who support them.This isn’t a future ambition. This is AI-native technology bringing clarity to problems enterprises have struggled with for more than a decade.
