Check

Provides embedded payroll services for software platforms

About Check

CheckHQ offers embedded payroll services tailored for software platforms in the fintech sector. Their primary product is a payroll system that can be integrated into existing software, allowing businesses to create and manage their own payroll services. This integration helps platforms like Homebase and Housecall Pro enhance their offerings, leading to increased revenue and improved customer retention. 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.
