Why Epassi Commuting?

By including the commuter benefit in your Epassi benefits offering, you provide your employees with an easy and popular way to use their employee benefit balance.

Epassi Commuting is an especially good choice when your employees live in different parts of Finland. This allows everyone to use the benefit in the way that suits them best. For employees who travel within the HSL area, public transport tickets are one of the most highly valued benefit options.

How does Epassi Commuting work for employers?

You can offer the commuter benefit as part of Epassi Go, Plus or Flex packages.

The most suitable option for offering the benefit is Epassi Flex, where you can select at least 2–4 benefits (such as sports, culture, commuting and wellbeing). You then set the benefit value, and employees decide for themselves how to use their benefit balance in the way that best suits them.
