We founded MyBento after struggling first-hand to attract and retain great people without overcomplicating HR and benefits administration. The employee benefits industry in South Africa is outdated, fragmented, and exclusionary - leaving most employees without essential savings and protection. We saw an opportunity to democratise access to benefits by embedding them directly where people earn.
That’s why we built MyBento. A modern employee benefits platform transforming how South African businesses manage and present remuneration and benefits to their teams. We help employers cut up to 80% of administrative effort and cost by digitising benefits origination, payroll integration, and compliance workflows - boosting their employee value proposition and overall experience.
Employees gain access to a personalised portfolio of benefits - including retirement, medical, insurance, savings, and wellness - that they can self-manage in line with their remuneration. MyBento bridges the gap between HR systems and financial inclusion, embedding access to critical life products at the “payday moment,” where engagement is highest.
As a local passionate team, our purpose is simple but ambitious: to help South Africans make the most of their earnings by turning payday into a gateway for lifelong financial and mental wellbeing.
