Give pleasure twice over: make the most of tax-free gifts in kind and support regional shops with Regional Hero.

Appreciation & motivation for employees

The increased tax-free benefit in kind is based on an update of the annual tax law, which allows monthly vouchers with a round amount of €50. An additional non-cash benefit of up to 3 x €60 per year for birthdays or company anniversaries motivates employees, and they can benefit from the full cash value, unlike in the case of a salary distribution.

Secure documentation & easy management for businesses

The usual risks of a non-cash benefit - for example, cash payment of the voucher value - are reliably excluded with Regional Hero, as long as the voucher is not part of the employee's salary and is not a substitute for overtime or vacation days. All tax-free benefits in kind for employees are automatically documented digitally with the Regional Hero Hub - so that employers are guaranteed a complete overview of tax-free and legally compliant benefits in kind at all times - including optional, simple integration into existing HR systems.

The best possible alternative to prepaid credit cards & personalizable charm

Prepaid credit cards with supra-regional acceptance are no longer recognized as a means for non-cash benefits as of 01.01.2022 - the City Cards from Regional Hero, on the other hand, meet all the new legal requirements for non-cash benefits. This interactive model offers the possibility to discover, save and share regional favorite stores as well as to get to know the city from a new side - the credit can be quickly paid on site via cell phone. All City Card vouchers can be customized for employers - for example, with the company logo or personal greetings.

Support from local & unique stores

Employees can view the vouchers they have received in the modern Regional Hero Discover app, where they are informed in real time that a voucher has been issued. The network voucher solution supports regional trade immensely: A fine selection of owner-managed companies forms the Regional Hero portfolio. Users discover their favorite places and brands on their own doorstep or get to know new neighborhoods in order to explore the entire diversity of the city. Real stores with real stories are saved and the hometown is kept alive - because every region is unique, and Regional Hero wants to keep it that way. Employers leiste

Shoutout to all Berliners & Munichers

Regional Hero has already received several awards for its commitment: Supporting lovingly run stores and preventing urban life from becoming increasingly monotonous, while building a community that wants to make authentic and fair purchasing decisions. Employers can also use Regional Hero to introduce their employees to a sustainable consumption trend with a good purpose. The City Cards are available for Berlin, Brandenburg and Munich. Since summer 2020, the diverse acceptance sites, i.e. the participating regional gastronomy as well as stores and spas, can be experienced and enjoyed in cooperation with exclusive media partners. Alternatively, charitable voucher donation platforms can be supported. Tax-free non-cash benefits have never been used so sensibly and in line with the times!
