The challenge

Check is an embedded payroll infrastructure platform powering payroll for 65+ vertical SaaS platforms. Building robust, reliable payment infrastructure across legacy banking systems is mission-critical and complex, and any system errors could disrupt employee payments across the U.S.

The solution

Check uses Modern Treasury's UI and a suite of APIs to automate payment flows and reconciliation, writing a single code integration that can flip traffic between banks with limited developer work and adopting instant rails like RTP and FedNow.

Modern Treasury was a requirement to even launch in the first place.
