About Check

Unlike traditional payroll providers, CheckHQ focuses on partnerships, supplying the necessary back-end technology while the partner platforms handle the customer-facing aspects. This approach enables quicker market entry and scalability, making it easier for platforms to add payroll services without significant upfront investment. The goal of CheckHQ is to empower software platforms to diversify their services and boost customer engagement through effective payroll solutions.
