About Anchor Care

Anchor Care operates in health and social care, employing 9,000 people, using Pay, Track, Claim, Workplace Loans, Workplace Savings, Financial Coach and Rewards.

Why did Anchor need Stream?

Anchor was operating a financial wellbeing model that relied on multiple separate providers, rather than one consolidated platform — a common problem for large care organisations trying to give staff a coherent set of financial support tools.

What challenges did Stream solve?

Anchor introduced Stream as a single, comprehensive platform bringing flexible pay, budgeting, rewards, savings and financial coaching together — replacing the fragmented, multiple-provider approach with one system covering the full range of financial support staff needed.

What was the business impact?

Within six months, money-related stress among colleagues had decreased, alongside increased shift uptake and reduced agency spending — with the knock-on effect of improved workforce engagement and a better experience for residents.

“I can be sceptical with new technology, but Stream has without a doubt been a huge success within Anchor. Already over half of our workforce is using the app to manage their money more effectively. A happy workforce means a more engaged workforce, giving a better experience to our residents.”
