Mitro is a Bangladesh-based financial wellness platform that promotes financial well-being among salaried professionals and blue workers such as factory workers, security guards, and delivery agents by assisting businesses in properly managing payroll through its payroll software and enhancing employee wellbeing and engagement through its Earned Wage Access (EWA) employee benefit.

Through the integration of technology in a secure platform where end users have a convenient and inclusive experience, EWA ensures that all employees have reliable access to their hard-earned salary, reducing the time it takes to be paid in order to meet their financial needs.

Mitro Fintech Limited announced the launch of a new initiative in collaboration with Bangladesh’s first digital microfinance institution Samannita Jonokallyan Kendra (Sojon), in conjunction with Mitro’s entry into the Bangladesh market as they introduce early wage access.
