Description

This report analyses benefits and opportunities of electronic wage payments for garment producers in Bangladesh. The report is based on a survey that quantified the cost and time savings of digital payments compared with cash, and measured employees’ payment preferences, based on interviews and self-reported data shared by 21 factories in Bangladesh. It is the first of its kind to document key data points on the costs and benefits of wage digitization from a factory perspective.
