Edenred has launched a childcare voucher service for smartphones that will offer increased flexibility and convenience for working parents.

The secure mobile site is designed to work will all smartphones.

It enables working parents to check their balance, view statements and make payments on the go.

From 14 May, employees that use Edenred childcare vouchers will be given the option to be directed to the new mobile site.

Laura Czapiewski, product manager for childcare vouchers at Edenred (pictured), said: “The thinking behind our childcare vouchers for smartphones is to make it as quick and easy as possible for parents to pay for childcare with our vouchers.

“We think this computer-free service also represents an opportunity for employers to widen employee participation in childcare voucher schemes by promoting the new service.”
