Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for fintech
Your team carries the weight of other people's money. Regulatory scrutiny never lets up, on-call rotas mean incidents land at 2am, and one bad deploy on a payments platform is everyone's problem. That pressure builds quietly until someone burns out. Spill gives your whole team unlimited therapy with same-day availability, so support arrives when the pager goes off, not three weeks later. All for £75 a month for the whole team.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

Proudly supporting fintech teams across the UK





The pressure of moving other people's money
Fintech engineers sit closest to the risk: on-call incidents, audits and the knowledge that downtime costs customers real money. The strain shows in the data. IT technicians have more than twice the odds of anxiety or depression compared with IT managers (UK Biobank study, 2022), and fintech's stakes only sharpen that.
Technicians at risk
IT technicians have more than twice the odds of anxiety or depression compared with IT managers. (UK Biobank study, 2022)
Half plan to quit
52% of developers plan to leave their current job within a year, with pay the top reason. (CodinGame & CoderPad, 2023)
High turnover
The tech and communications sector sees around 35% staff turnover a year, above the UK average. (CIPD / ONS, 2024)
Keep your best engineers shipping
Replacing a fintech engineer means months of hiring, onboarding and lost context in systems where mistakes are expensive. Fast, unlimited mental health support helps people stay well, stay focused and stay put.
Make resilience part of the culture
Give people tools for stress, imposter syndrome and always-on pressure.
Ship with clearer heads
Supported teams focus better, collaborate better and burn out less.
Cut burnout before it bites
Same-day support catches problems while they're still small.
All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
Book a therapist directly from Slack or Teams and talk the same day, about burnout, imposter syndrome or anything else. No waiting lists, no phone menus, no forms, and sessions run into the evening and at weekends.


Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures tech workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to imposter syndrome and sleep, our online resources can be accessed at any time. They're a great first step for anyone who's not quite ready to speak to a counsellor directly.
Expert guidance and training
Practical, therapist-led training workshops designed to empower staff to spot mental health presentations within nurseries, schools and universities and know how to appropriately respond. Teachers can also check in with a Spill safeguarding clinician for advice at any time.

FAQs
Fintech teams need support that works around on-call rotas and incident response, which means same-day availability, evening and weekend sessions, and no cap that cuts people off mid-treatment. Spill fits that brief: it's the UK's highest rated EAP on Trustpilot, with unlimited counselling, same-day sessions and therapists available 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week. It costs £75 a month for the whole team on a rolling 30 day contract, and fintechs like Funding Circle, Nutmeg and Freetrade already use it. A cheap helpline EAP can make sense if you only need a compliance tick-box, but with typical usage of 3 to 5%, most of your team will never touch it.
Spill costs £75 a month for your whole team, on a rolling 30 day contract you can cancel with 30 days' notice. For a 40-person fintech, that works out at under £2 per person per month, and it covers unlimited therapy sessions rather than the 6 to 8 session caps traditional EAPs impose. Book a demo to see how quickly you could be live.
An EAP for fintech is a mental health benefit that gives your team confidential access to therapy and emotional support. Spill is built for how fintech actually works: booking through Slack or MS Teams, same-day sessions that fit around on-call shifts, and therapists available 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, including the morning after an incident.
Fintech combines high technical stakes with real financial consequences: regulatory scrutiny, on-call incidents and the constant awareness that errors affect people's money. That takes a toll, especially on hands-on engineers. One UK Biobank study (2022) found IT technicians have more than twice the odds of anxiety or depression compared with IT managers.
Yes. Spill works with 600+ small companies and there's no minimum team size. You can be live within days, it costs £75 a month for the whole team, and the rolling 30 day contract means no lock-in if things change.
With around 35% annual turnover in the sector and over half of developers eyeing the exit, retention is costly. Spill gives your team confidential, unlimited support delivered in Slack and Teams. It's a benefit employees actually use, and that's linked to greater satisfaction and longer tenure.
Yes. Spill's counselling is available the same day, including evenings and weekends, because plenty of people don't work standard office hours. Our therapists are available from as early as 7am GMT to as late as 9:30pm GMT, 7 days a week, with no health assessments, waiting lists or call-backs. Employees can access support via SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams or email and book from their phone in a few clicks.
Spill offers therapy sessions in 15+ languages, so your team can speak freely with a counsellor that understands them best. Employees choose their preferred language from a drop-down when they book a session. We currently cover Armenian, Croatian, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Igbo, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, Tagalog and Ukrainian. We're adding to this list all the time, so let us know if you have a request.

No session content is ever visible to them, to Spill, or to your company.
