Through our benefits and policies, we encourage our employees to make the most of discounted travel and loan schemes to build a work-life balance to suit all situations. At BNP Paribas, we aim to make travelling to and from the office as stress-free as possible whilst supporting the environment, as well as ensure you have the means to be able to work from home and the office accessible.
Choose a certificate value between £100 and £1,000 on the Cyclescheme website to spend on your bike and/or safety equipment. We recommend finding the products you want before choosing the value required.
Once you have chosen your certificate, Cyclescheme will e-mail you instructions to show how to securely access it. This will arrive three weeks after the benefit has taken effect.
You will then use your certificate number to order your Cycle to Work package in store or online. During the redemption process, you will be required to sign your Hire Agreement. Once signed, you will be able to collect your goods or complete the order process online.
