Check strengthens market leadership as demand for embedded payroll accelerates

Wednesday, May 21, 2025 — 16:25:14 (UTC)

NEW YORK – [May 21, 2025] — Check, the leading embedded payroll infrastructure platform, today announced continued momentum into the first half of 2025, building on a year of significant customer growth, deepened strategic partnerships, and rising industry influence across the payroll and small businesses ecosystems. In Q1 alone, Check helped partners move nearly $1 billion in payroll volume, representing a 3x increase over January 2024, and supported the filing of hundreds of thousands of W-2s with a 99.9% success rate. These milestones highlight the accelerating demand for streamlined, embedded payroll.

Check enables vertical SaaS and workforce management platforms that support small and medium-sized businesses to build, launch, and scale tailored payroll products. These offerings help small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) reduce administrative burdens and improve accuracy, while enabling platform partners to unlock new revenue streams. In 2024, Check saw breakout adoption of its white-labeled components and seamless integrations across health benefits, retirement, insurance, and accounting, helping platforms accelerate time to market with minimal internal lift. To date, Check has enabled over $8 billion in payroll earnings, with $4.1 billion processed in 2024 alone.

As Check continues to scale, it has also strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Melissa Chambers as Head of Sales and Partnerships. Melissa brings deep expertise in go-to-market strategy and channel growth, and will be instrumental in deepening relationships across Check’s partner ecosystem and expanding its footprint in key verticals.

Check’s partner ecosystem has continued to expand in early 2025, as more platforms chose to build on Check’s infrastructure and existing partners deepened their integrations. Recent highlights include:
