A payment solution that gives you back your time


Pay on time, every time

Pay employees and vendors as soon as the next business day, without the hassle of printing a check or sending a wire. Help manage cash flow by making large payments the next business day.


From employees to vendors

Pay employees, contractors (1099), and sales agents by direct deposit, including net pay, bonuses, commissions, and expense reimbursements.


Save time

Funds are deposited directly to U.S. bank accounts, and payee information is stored online — streamlining future payments.


Maintain control
