Microhive in Financial Services: Driving Millions for Charity

Microhive is an innovative micro-giving platform that empowers employees to make a difference without feeling financial strain. By donating the spare pennies from their monthly salary, staff can support charities of their organisation’s choice in the simplest way possible. For example, if an employee earns £850.34, they take home £850 and the 34p is donated directly to charity. It’s seamless, inclusive, and adds up to a huge collective impact.

Proven success across Financial Services
Financial Services organisations are already leading the way with Microhive. To date, our partners, including the Bank of England, Liverpool Victoria Financial Services, LV= General Insurance, Barclays, HSBC, Investec, Esure, NFU Mutual, and Swiss Re, have raised £3.2 million for hundreds of charities. That’s millions directed to causes that matter most, all from the power of spare change.

Why Financial Services companies are a perfect fit
Financial Services organisations have a unique combination of scale, influence, and commitment to social purpose:

• Large employers: Financial Services organisations often have thousands of employees (2.5m across the sector). With Microhive, even pennies from each payslip quickly scale to hundreds of thousands of pounds annually.
• Strong ethical standards: Integrity and trust are central to the sector. Microhive gives these companies a tangible way to demonstrate those values in action.
• Community-minded: Financial Services firms have long histories of supporting communities and charity partners. Microhive strengthens these relationships while making giving easy and inclusive.
• Visible impact: The collective generosity is clear, measurable, and easy to celebrate internally and externally, reinforcing brand reputation and employee pride.
