Temper, the largest freelance platform in the Netherlands, is releasing a significant improvement: DirectPay. Thanks to the collaboration with Finqle and their fast payment and invoicing solution, FreeFlexers (freelancers using the Temper platform) can now receive their payment minutes after the client approves their worked hours.
This new feature addresses the growing need among freelancers to be paid quickly for their work. Erik-Jan Klinkenberg, CEO of Finqle, explains: “We see a clear trend where freelancers expect to be paid immediately. Waiting a month for your money is outdated, and we noticed that even a couple of days was too much of a time-span. With DirectPay, we address this need and set a new standard in the freelance world in the Netherlands and worldwide.”
Flexibility is more important than ever for the next generation
With a shrinking workforce and growing labour shortages, it is crucial to engage a broader group of workers. For the next generation, who represent a growing share of the labour market, flexibility and financial security are essential. DirectPay strengthens their position while helping businesses stay agile and future-proof
Maarten Zoomers, CEO of Temper, says: "The way people work is changing significantly. Many freelancers use Temper to earn flexibly, but this flexibility only works if the financial transactions are handled smoothly. With DirectPay, we offer freelancers immediate security and the ability to be paid within minutes. This makes our platform even more attractive."
The introduction of DirectPay is an important step in further professionalizing the freelance sector. With this innovation, Temper and Finqle continue to lead in providing optimal support and service to freelancers in the Netherlands and the UK.
