John Lewis joins the BHN Extras Home & Tech Scheme

We’re excited to announce that John Lewis has officially launched on the BHN Extras Home & Tech scheme, further strengthening our growing home offering and expanding choice for employees. 

Already home to much-loved retailers Currys and IKEA, the addition of John Lewis brings even greater quality, credibility, and variety to our retailer network - giving employees more ways to invest in their homes while managing the cost responsibly. 

With the Home & Tech salary sacrifice scheme, employees can spread the cost of home and technology essentials: interest-free - all while saving money and improving their financial wellbeing. 
 
Unexpected costs in the home can cause financial stress, that’s where Home & Tech comes in! The scheme provides fast, fair access to the products employees need, without the burden of upfront costs or debt. 

More choice for the home, where it matters most 

Through the scheme, employees can now shop with John Lewis across the following categories: 

• Home & Garden 

• Furniture & Lighting 

This means access to a wide range of everyday home essentials, furniture, décor, and outdoor items - from sofas and dining tables to lighting, storage, and garden upgrades. 

By expanding choice within the home category, we’re helping employees make essential home purchases and meaningful improvements to their living spaces - whether that’s furnishing a new home, upgrading tired essentials, or creating a more comfortable environment for everyday life. 

Supporting smarter spending during a cost-conscious time 

BHN’s Branded Pay Study 2026 found that UK consumers are increasingly focused on managing household costs. Nearly half (47%) of UK consumers expect to use buy now, pay later options to help spread spending and stay in control of their finances. 

The BHN Extras Home & Tech scheme supports this need by allowing employees to: 

• Save up to 8% through salary sacrifice 

• Spread the cost of purchases over time 

• Avoid high-interest credit or short-term payment pressure 

This makes larger or necessary home purchases more manageable, reducing the stress that can often come with upgrading or replacing essential items. 

A meaningful benefit for employers 

For employers, the ability to offer practical, relevant financial benefits is becoming increasingly important when it comes to attracting and retaining talent. 

BHN research shows that even straightforward support - such as help with the cost of furniture and home essentials - can improve employee retention by up to 15%. 

By giving employees access to trusted brands like John Lewis through a tax-efficient scheme, employers can demonstrate real, everyday support that aligns with how people live and spend. 

Why John Lewis? 

John Lewis is one of the UK’s most trusted retailers, known for quality, longevity, and customer confidence. Its arrival on the scheme strengthens our home offering and reflects our commitment to partnering with credible, household-name brands that employees genuinely value. 

We’re delighted to welcome John Lewis to the BHN Extras Home & Tech Scheme and look forward to helping even more employees create comfortable, functional homes -while saving money and spreading the cost in a smarter way.
