HelloBonnie: The smart, fair alternative to fuel vouchers

Fuel vouchers are yesterday's solution – today's companies need flexible benefits that truly excite all employees. While traditional fuel vouchers only reach a small portion of your team, HelloBonnie offers a modern alternative that adapts to your workforce's individual needs.

The Problem with Fuel Vouchers: Not Relevant for Everyone

Fuel vouchers might seem practical at first glance, but they have a crucial drawback: they don't fit every lifestyle. Many of your employees use public transportation, cycle to work, or work from home. For them, fuel vouchers are simply useless.

Picture this: You spend 50 euros per employee monthly on fuel vouchers, but only 60% of your team can actually use them. That means 40% of your benefit budget goes to waste – money down the drain and frustrated employees.

HelloBonnie: A Benefit for Everyone

With HelloBonnie, every employee gets the freedom to use their monthly benefit budget according to their personal preferences. The innovative smart card works like a flexible prepaid card that can be used both online and offline.

Maximum Flexibility Instead of Rigid Requirements

While fuel vouchers serve only one purpose, HelloBonnie offers genuine choice:

  • Regional Use: The smart card works at all Mastercard terminals in your chosen region – from supermarkets to hair salons to physiotherapy clinics
  • Brand Spaces: Online shopping with favorite brands or directly in-store
  • Individual Allocation: Decide each month how to use the budget

An employee can use their budget for groceries in January, sporting goods in February, and a restaurant visit in March – completely based on their needs.

Maximizing Tax Benefits

Both solutions benefit from tax advantages, but HelloBonnie takes it a step further. The smart card was developed in collaboration with the tax firm Möhrle Happ Luther and has been recognized as tax-compliant by the Hamburg Tax Office.

With HelloBonnie, you can combine various tax-free categories:

  • 50 Euro Non-Cash Benefit: Up to 600 € annually per employee
  • Gift Allowance: Up to 180 € annually per employee
  • Recreation Allowance: Up to 360 € annually per employee

True Cost Efficiency

While fuel vouchers are only cost-effective when all employees can use them, HelloBonnie guarantees 100% utilization. Every euro of your benefit budget actually reaches your employees.

In concrete terms: Instead of spending 5,000 euros monthly for 100 employees, where only 60% can use the benefit, you're investing in a solution with HelloBonnie that delights all 100 employees.

Modern Usage for the Digital Workplace

HelloBonnie perfectly fits the modern work environment. The smart card is immediately available – both physically and digitally via Apple Pay and Google Pay. Employees can manage and use their budget in real-time without complicated reimbursement processes.

Strengthening Local Economy

While fuel vouchers only support large oil corporations, HelloBonnie strengthens the local economy. Employees can spend their budget at the neighborhood bakery, local sports shop, or their trusted hair salon.

Conclusion: Benefits That Really Make an Impact

Fuel vouchers were a start, but they no longer meet the needs of a modern, diverse workforce. HelloBonnie offers the flexibility your employees truly value – and the cost efficiency your company needs.

With HelloBonnie, you're not just making your team happier, but also optimizing your payroll costs while simultaneously strengthening the local economy. A benefit system where everyone truly wins.
