Each and every month we’re shining the spotlight on one of our latest providers, and for the month of December, we’re delighted to introduce you to BHN Extras.

BHN Extras is a leading, cost-effective, employee engagement and benefits platform.

It’s a simple and cost-effective employee benefits platform suitable for businesses of all sizes, that’s designed to make every employee feel recognised and valued whilst saving them money, every day.

Benefits include Cyclescheme, Home & Tech, bYond cashback card, Extras Discounts, MyGymDiscounts and more.

BHN Extras Home & Tech offers employees an easy and cost-effective way to purchase high-quality home and technology products through manageable, interest-free monthly payments.

This benefit lets employees access a variety of products from well-known retailers, meaning they can upgrade their home, lifestyle, and tech gadgets without the upfront expense. By splitting payments across 12 months, deducted directly from post-tax salary, employees can enjoy an easier buying experience with minimal financial strain.

Home & Tech welcomes a broad range of products, from the latest tech devices, such as laptops, smartphones, and smart home gadgets, to essential home items like furniture, kitchenware, and decor. This gives employees the flexibility to personalise what they buy according to their needs, whether they’re looking to improve their home environment, enhance productivity, or stay updated with the latest tech trends. Partnering with leading retailers, the program brings access to recognised brands and quality products, ensuring customers receive both value and choice.

The program also allows for National Insurance savings, which makes each purchase more affordable in the long run.

The Home & Tech benefit is designed to provide a well-rounded solution that empowers employees to meet their home and tech needs while managing their budget effectively. Through easy, predictable payments, employees can experience the advantages of upgraded technology and improved living spaces, enhancing their quality of life both at work and at home.
