Our Mission

Millions of Papua New Guinean workers are excluded from mainstream financial services. Without access to affordable credit, a medical emergency or broken vehicle becomes a financial crisis.

StaffLoans partners with employers — government departments, statutory bodies, and private companies — to offer employees loans repaid safely through payroll deduction. This eliminates default risk and unlocks access to credit that was previously out of reach.

We combine smart technology with local knowledge to build a platform that works for PNG workers, wherever they are.

What We Offer

  • Payroll-deducted personal loans
  • Employer-managed benefit programs
  • Staff advance (salary advance) schemes
  • Gratuity tracking & management
  • Savings & financial goal tools
  • Financial wellness education
  • AI-powered credit assessment
  • SMS-based access for remote workers
