GajiGesa is also increasingly popular for employees that have micro-businesses at home. They often use GajiGesa and use their salary as working capital rather than turning to informal lenders. Health related expenses is another common reason for GajiGesa usage.

The app is aimed at businesses with between 5 to 100 workers and has gained more than 50,000 active users since it was launched in mid-March.
