About PrizeBnk

Built by someone who has run the rota

Our story

Why PrizeBnk exists

Before PrizeBnk, our founder Sanil Xavier worked in hospitality management. Day to day, he saw how money worries followed people to work: the extra shift picked up to cover a bill, the stress that shows up as sick days, and good people leaving for a few pence more an hour. The usual answer was a benefits portal nobody opened, or a one-off talk about budgeting. What was missing was something people would actually want to use, every day.

The idea

Bring the reward closer

Saving is hard because the reward feels far away. A weekly prize draw brings it closer. So PrizeBnk pairs practical tools (an emergency fund, personal goals and a quick daily spending review) with a weekly prize draw that rewards good habits, not big balances.

Who we build for

Built for employers

PrizeBnk is a software company. We build for UK businesses with teams from 10, especially hospitality and retail, where hours vary, pay is often hourly and staff turnover is expensive. There’s no payroll integration, and it’s simple to run.

Sanil Xavier, Founder of PrizeBnk
My mission is to make financial security an exciting, achievable goal for every team member - and to give operators a way to genuinely be heroes for the people who keep their business running.
