About Us, Our Journey and Our People | pirkx

ABOUT US

happier. healthier. human.

We wanted to create something affordable which brought wellbeing benefits to everyone – whether self-employed, part of a company or for a client.

We founded pirkx because until then, only employees of corporates got access to any kind of wellbeing benefits.

Just as important to us was making pirkx affordable for everyone, so we created an awesome benefits package at a super low cost. And with pirkx there is no minimum contract length. You can choose to leave at any time… but we’re sure you won’t, once you see just how much you can get from being a pirkx member!

OUR JOURNEY

Spurred on by treating our customers fairly and giving them the best deals, we have global ambition to bring wellbeing benefits to one million members by 2025.
