  "account": "A recent study by SWG for Satispay found that 78% of Italian workers consider welfare benefits offered by their company to be important or fundamental, with 77% seeing them as a key ally against the high cost of living. The use of welfare benefits has evolved significantly, with technological advancements making it easier to utilize them for various expenses such as education, training, and daily necessities. However, over a third of those with access to welfare benefits use them little, citing a limited network of affiliated merchants as a major obstacle. Satispay's CEO, Alberto Dalmasso, reported that the company has served over 430,000 workers in more than 45,000 companies, with annual welfare benefit volumes exceeding €480 million, a 197% increase year-over-year.",
  "summary": "78% of workers consider it important and 77% see it as an ally in daily expenses. One worker in two would like to receive the bonus in credits for the greater value.",
