Traditional payment methods are slow and costly for both businesses and employees. The Branch EPP provides employers and technology partners a faster, free solution to deliver on-demand payments and empower their employees with tools including digital payouts of tips, wages, and other disbursements, earned wage access, fee-free banking, and paycard alternative. Branch allows businesses to automate processes, reduce payroll costs, remove logistical burdens and cash flow concerns, and support employees with free financial services.
“Employers and technology partners alike see the need to innovate payments but building a full-out offering requires extensive technology, time, and support,” said Branch CEO Atif Siddiqi. “We launched the Employer Payments Platform to eliminate barriers to entry and provide a solution that allows businesses to get set up easily and quickly derive value.”

The EPP’s open APIs enable both real-time data transfer and an integrated experience within an employer or technology partner’s platform. Leading HR, payroll, and IT platform Rippling is the most recent partner to adopt the solution, embedding the Branch EPP into its platform to offer its customers an integrated paycard alternative along with the ability to provide faster onboarding, payments, and fee-free banking to employees. The integration delivers a continuous user experience so that customers can manage and operate these tools all within the Rippling portal.
“No one should have to deal with cash or physical paychecks in a pandemic,” said Matt Macinnis, COO of Rippling. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Branch to give hourly workers safe, easy access to the wages they’ve earned. Now customers can automatically enroll and bank their employees in Rippling.”
