Check

Check is a payroll infrastructure company that enables software platforms to build and offer payroll products directly within their applications. Founded in 2019, the company pioneered embedded payroll, giving vertical SaaS, HR, workforce management, and other platforms the infrastructure needed to integrate payroll into the products their customers already use.

Through its API-first platform, Check handles the complex infrastructure behind payroll, including tax calculations, money movement, tax filings, payments, deductions, garnishments, benefits, and compliance. Its flexible APIs and more than 30 pre-built components allow platforms to create customized payroll experiences while reducing the engineering and operational work required to build these capabilities from scratch.

Check's embedded approach allows businesses to run payroll within the software platforms they already rely on rather than switching between disconnected systems. This can create a more seamless experience for employers and employees while giving software companies the ability to launch new payroll products, strengthen their customer relationships, and develop additional revenue streams.

The platform is designed to support payroll businesses at different stages of growth, from startups launching their first integrated payroll product to established companies serving large and complex employers. Check provides scalable payments infrastructure, payroll and tax operations, risk and fraud monitoring, compliance support, and ongoing operational expertise to help partners manage the complexities of payroll as they scale.

By providing the infrastructure behind embedded payroll, Check enables software companies to focus on building differentiated products and customer experiences rather than recreating the complex systems required to process payroll. Its approach is aimed at making payroll more integrated, flexible, and accessible across the modern software ecosystem.
