Hnry news stories

Founded in 2017, the company deploys software aimed at helping freelancers, contractors and sole traders manage the financial admin that comes with working for oneself. 

Three Kiwi company founders explain how they are helping the post-COVID-19 economic recovery with a mix of innovation and heart.

The increase has been noticeably driven by people looking to start earning independently, as many have been let go from permanent jobs and are seeking alternatives. 

Hnry have expanded their office space in Wellington as they look to further invest into technology, bring more value to customers, hire more staff and begin trials to expand into overseas markets.

Hnry CEO James Fuller says that without any equivalent of the employer contribution, the majority of independent earners aren’t engaging with KiwiSaver at all, as they don’t see it as being a valuable investment.

According to HNRY founder James Fuller, the 'future' of work is actually the 'present' of work.

Hnry was designed to make life easier for contractors, freelancers and other independent earners, providing an online service that takes care of their financial admin.

"As a fintech company, being able to work in partnership with an innovative bank like ASB is really helping our platform."

Wellington-based fintech startup Hnry’s pre-seed capital raise was so popular that it was oversubscribed by $100,000 within days of launch.

Hnry turns self-employment into a ‘pay-as-you-earn’ model, free from the risk of severe consequences that come with non-compliance.
