A financial wellbeing platform which counts the alcohol-free beer producer Lucky Saint among its clients has landed a £6m funding injection from a syndicate of well-known investors.
Sky News understands that Mintago, which was founded in 2019, will announce in the coming days that Guinness Ventures has jointly led the Series A round alongside Seed X Liechtenstein and Social Impact Enterprises.
Mintago, which also counts car rental firm Avis and Northumbrian Police among its customers, aims to help employees save and manage their money more effectively.
A number of the start-up's current investors, Love Ventures and Truesight Ventures, are also understood to have reinvested as part of the fundraising.
The company was set up by Chieu Cao and Daniel Conti, and claims to offer more salary sacrifice schemes than any other UK provider.
It also provides independent financial advice, a service for finding lost pension pots, retail discounts and GP services.
"We realised that organisations are crying out for the same help we provide their staff," Mr Conti said.
"The benefits of providing that support impact everyone.
"When a company improves their salary sacrifice benefits engagement, they can save thousands in National Insurance Contributions, but their employees save too, easing the strain on their finances."
The new capital will be used to develop additional products using artificial intelligence, according to the company.
"Mintago is enabling its customers to become truly people-centric organisations by giving them the tools to support their employees' financial wellbeing," Mathias Jaeggi, a partner at Seed X Liechtenstein, said.
