Our Social Values strategy sets out the commitment of the Board to achieving ambitious change and positive impact, improving the lives of our colleagues, clients, workers and the communities we serve. Social Value is a complex area and a core part of our business strategy to 2030 and beyond.


Our Approach

We’ve followed industry and Social Value best practice in developing our strategy wherever possible. There is a great deal of positive work already being done and we’re proud to learn from this and embed this into our processes (where appropriate) as part of our work. 

We also push ourselves to innovate and create our own solutions to the Social Value challenges we face. We believe this gives us a realistic, relevant plan for our business supporting our clients and the projects we deliver.

Our strategy is split into three strategic pillars; Environmental Sustainability, Social Responsibility and Economic Development. We’ve aligned the goals under each pillar with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), developed by the UN in 2015. Aligning with the SDGs allows our strategy to evolve in-line with global best practice and industry-specific initiatives. 

Social Value 2030

Reporting and Governance

Performance against project targets is reported quarterly (as a minimum) with the Leadership Team and key actions agreed to continue to drive positive change. We reset our Social Values strategy in 2022 as we recognised we could do better. As such, certain targets have limited historical data as metrics were not previously tracked.

Partnerships with Clients

We’re excited to drive change and innovate through our Social Values Strategy. We also know that we can and do achieve much more working in partnership with our clients. Joining our Social Value goals with our clients, pools resources and helps increase the overall benefit we can both demonstrate, ultimately improving the lives of workers and the communities we serve. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQs

Can I really use my business credit card?

Yes. BoostPay Flex accepts Corpay, American Express and all major business cards as a funding method for a wide range of business payments, including contractor and worker payroll, supplier invoices, and payments to HMRC. This isn't something most payment providers offer. BoostPay has built Flex to make it possible.

Will I earn Membership Rewards points on Flex payments? 

That depends on your business credit card and its rewards structure. In most cases, Flex payments are processed as standard business expenditure, which means they're treated the same as any other card transaction for rewards purposes. We'd recommend confirming with your business credit directly, as card terms vary.

What business credit cards does Flex accept?

Flex works with all major business credit cards including Corpay and American Express. If you're unsure whether your specific card is compatible, the BoostPay team can confirm before you set anything up.

Why use my business credit card instead of bank transfers?

Bank transfers draw immediately on your cash. Paying through your business credit card means the cash stays in your account until your card statement is due, giving you additional time to manage your working capital without delaying payments to workers, suppliers, or HMRC. For businesses juggling multiple payment obligations at once, that difference in timing can be significant.

Can I use Flex for my HMRC payments?

Yes. Flex can be used to fund business payments to HMRC, which makes it a useful tool around tax deadlines when cash flow is under particular pressure. Speak to the BoostPay team about how this works in practice for your specific payment obligations.

Does BoostPay charge extra for payments made by business credit card?

Speak to the BoostPay team about the current fee structure for Flex. Pricing is discussed as part of the onboarding conversation so you have a clear picture before committing.

What happens when I register?

Before any client is set up on Flex, we carry out our own know your customer (KYC) checks. This includes verifying the identity of the business and its directors, confirming registered company details against Companies House records, and checking ownership structure where relevant. These checks sit alongside, and are separate from, the KYC checks already carried out by the card provider and our banking partners when a card or account is issued.

Do you have a compliance process to check payments?

We run anti-money laundering checks on every client as part of onboarding and on an ongoing basis. This includes screening against sanctions and politically exposed persons lists, monitoring transaction patterns for anything unusual, and reviewing accounts periodically rather than only at the point of setup. These checks are additional to the AML controls already applied by your card provider and our bank.

What is your compliance process?

Compliance runs through everything we do at BoostPay, not just at onboarding. Our compliance process including KYC and AML is layered on top of the checks already carried out by the card provider and our bank.
