WorkLife by OpenMoney, the employee benefits platform, has partnered with car-buying brand What Car? to offer a discounted car purchase scheme to its users.
WorkLife customers will be able to purchase and finance a new vehicle through What Car? Affinity as part of the agreement. Affinity is a programme that guarantees up to a 25 per cent discount on new cars.
Users of WorkLife will benefit from advice throughout the buying process, which will be offered exclusively through What Car? Affinity’s online platform, and will allow them to quickly identify the ideal car for them and obtain it at the right price.
WorkLife aims to assist companies in addressing the five major pillars of an employee’s overall wellbeing, which are financial, emotional, physical, social, and environmental, through its comprehensive benefits package. It hopes to assist employers to address the financial pillar by allowing their employees to save money on new automobiles through the partnership.
WorkLife by OpenMoney head of product & proposition Rob Marshall says: “The current inflation rate combined with the rising cost of living means employees are now more than ever looking for resourceful ways to reduce costs. The What Car? Affinity scheme gives colleagues the opportunity to get the vehicle they want, including the latest electric vehicles, at a discounted price from a trusted name. It sits alongside our salary sacrifice electric vehicle solution – meaning that those for whom a salary sacrifice scheme or electric vehicle isn’t practical can benefit from savings too.”
WhatCar? Affinity director of employee benefits partnerships Pat Hoy says: “What Car? Affinity is delighted to partner with WorkLife and reward employees with guaranteed new car savings from a source they can trust. At a time where the cost of living is rising and cars are becoming increasingly scarce, the What Car? Affinity scheme offers employees an alternative, more flexible route to car ownership without the tax and salary implications that come with salary sacrifice schemes.”
