Built for gifting at scale
From day one, Extraordinary has been enterprise-ready. Every occasion is managed from one platform, with reporting built in, so you always have visibility and control.
"We chose Extraordinary as the vehicle to reward our people for their achievements in our employee wellbeing programme. Extraordinary offers a simple, flexible solution that allows our people to use their wellbeing rewards in ways that work for them."
FBT follows what is spent
Fringe Benefit Tax only applies once gifted funds are spent. We provide the platform and reporting, not tax advice, so please confirm your treatment with your adviser.
Live reporting for finance
Gifted, spent and returned, per employee and across the business, at any point in the year. It is export-ready, which turns year-end reconciliation into a report rather than an investigation.
One send covers five thousand
Sending five thousand gifts is as simple as sending one. Funds land in each account immediately and load straight into Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Running totals against the thresholds
Track per-employee and business-wide totals as they accumulate, giving your adviser complete, up-to-date numbers when it’s time to report.
One owner, one standard
Role-based restrictions control who can create a gifting plan and who can fund one, and every action is recorded against a person. Gifting policy stops being an unwritten convention.
Free digital payment cards
Extraordinary is a digital-first platform, cutting out the plastic and cost of physical gift cards.
Stop paying twice on the same dollars.
With a traditional gift card, the full face value leaves your business on day one, whether it is ever spent or not. That unspent value still sits within the amount used to calculate your FBT.
With Extraordinary, you only fund what employees actually use. Any unspent balance is returned when the expiry you set is reached, while your dashboard gives Finance a clear record of what was gifted, spent and returned whenever they need it.
Your questions, our answers.
You only pay FBT on what is actually spent by employees, because anything your team does not spend is returned to you and was never provided as a benefit. We provide the platform and the reporting rather than tax advice, so confirm your treatment with your adviser.
It returns to your business at the expiry you set. You are only ever out of pocket for what your people actually used.
You set the rules. Choose an expiry that suits you, or leave the funds to rollover.
A flat 5% on the amount you load. Digital cards are issued at no charge, with no per-seat fee and nothing to post.
No. Gifting runs without payroll integration, which means it can go live in days rather than quarters.
Yes. One list, one send, and everyone receives it at the same moment.
