Secure payroll funding before day one

Direct Deposit Setup enables organizations to securely collect and validate bank account information from new hires prior to their first paycheck. This critical pre-boarding function eliminates manual check processing delays and reduces the risk of payment failures. By integrating directly with banking APIs, the system ensures that funds are deposited accurately on schedule, maintaining employee trust and operational efficiency. The process is designed to be simple for new employees while providing robust security protocols for financial data handling.

The setup workflow guides new hires through a step-by-step interface to enter their routing and account numbers, with real-time validation checks to prevent errors before submission.

Administrators receive automated notifications upon successful configuration, allowing them to verify the data without manual intervention or reliance on outdated paper forms.

Integration with time and attendance systems ensures that payroll eligibility is confirmed immediately after deposit verification, streamlining the entire compensation lifecycle.
