How we work
Offer your crew a seamless experience with our industry-leading global payroll solution
Problem:
Today, some cruise ship workers are still paid in cash. Not only is counting individual wage packets for every crew member every week a tedious and costly exercise, but transporting vast quantities of cash to remote docks is a huge security risk for cruise ship operators and local staff.
To top it off, for crew members themselves (many of whom are unbanked) receiving payments in cash is risky, and provides little opportunity to take control of their financial futures.

Solution:
In response to these challenges, Brightwell developed Navigator: An industry-leading digital payroll solution to empower crew members’ financial freedom.
Navigator provides a means for employers to pay wages by direct deposit into a bank account or onto a prepaid card. Rather than load, count, and distribute packets of cash, Brightwell customers simply submit a single batch file for payment, benefiting from huge savings in cost, time, and resources.
Using the Brightwell Navigator app or website, crew can choose how to allocate their pay and view their recent card balance and transactions, all with transparency and control.
Navigator even provides employers with high-level insights into how their ship’s crew are saving and spending their earnings, which helps them provide welfare and services that more effectively support their personal well-being.
