Why start now

Do the groundwork this fall to launch with the new year

Planning for a January rollout means the background work happens right now. But fret not: Tapcheck handles all the heavy lifting so you're ready to roll by the time your employees are back from the holidays.

January is a natural fresh start

New plan year, new paychecks, new goals. Employees are paying close attention to their money after the holidays. It's the right moment for a benefit that helps between paydays.

The heavy lifting is ours

Our implementation team handles the integration and testing in the background. Your team joins a few check-ins, not a months-long project.

Walk into 2027 with a win

Show leadership a benefit that supports retention, costs the company nothing, and employees actually use. That's an easy story to tell in your first meeting of the year.

What makes this your easiest implementation in 2027?

Most earned wage access setups are difficult because they fight with your payroll settings. Tapcheck is payroll-native: it works inside the payroll system you already run, so there's far less to build and nothing new to manage.

•

No new systems

Tapcheck connects directly to your existing payroll system and reconciles after every payroll run. Your employees can keep all direct deposit settings.

•

Payroll stays in control

Every Tapcheck transfer appears as a line item on the paystub. Direct deposits don't change. Your payroll team can see exactly where the money moved in every cycle.

•

Zero cost, less risk

Tapcheck costs your company nothing and never touches your cash flow. If a deduction can't be recovered, Tapcheck absorbs it, not you.

Your plan for a January rollout

Four steps, and we'll do the big stuff.

1

Research and fit

Confirm your payroll and timekeeping systems are supported. Get clear answers on cost, risk, and payroll impact to share with leadership.

2

Kickoff and integration

We connect Tapcheck to your payroll and timekeeping systems. Your payroll lead joins the kickoff and confirms a few settings.

3

Testing and sign-off

We check balances against real pay data and confirm deductions reconcile correctly. You approve the launch date.

4

Employee rollout

We provide launch emails and flyers for your team to share. Employees download the app and see their balance. Payroll runs exactly as before.

Tapcheck has helped us with retention. Our employees are calling out of work less because they can get the funds they need before payday to take care of whatever it is they need.

"The platform was antiquated and a waste of our resources...

Payactiv was void of relevant financial content and generally not user-friendly. In over two years with Payactiv, our staff had transferred just under $800k. In the nine months since moving to Tapcheck our staff has accessed over $4MM and the feedback has been exceedingly positive.

We switched over to Tapcheck and it exceeded our expectations...

With Payactiv, we were fielding several calls from our caregiving staff having issues accessing their money. From a management perspective, this was clogging our operations and frustrating because we couldn't efficiently connect them with Payactiv to resolve their issues

It's a manual process of re-sending them emails every day...

Payactiv wasn't able to verify employee data regularly, even though we sent them a daily file. They were requiring us to send another daily email with every employee change. Errors were made on employee accounts, they didn't process our time files efficiently, and our employees became frustrated with the system.

Questions you'll get asked

Before you bring it to payroll and leadership.

For most employers, yes. Your timeline depends on your payroll and timekeeping systems, which is why the first step is a compatibility check. We'll give you a specific timeline once we know your setup.

No. Tapcheck isn't an elected benefit, so employees don't sign up during an enrollment window. You can finish enrollment as planned and introduce Tapcheck when it launches.

Very little. Your payroll lead joins a kickoff call and a few check-ins. Our implementation team handles the integration, testing, and launch materials.

Nothing. There's no setup fee and no ongoing cost to employers. Tapcheck doesn't touch your cash flow, and Tapcheck absorbs any deduction that can't be recovered.

Some earned wage access models route paychecks through a third-party account or ask employees to open a new bank account. Tapcheck leaves direct deposits exactly where they are and shows every transfer on the paystub. Ask your provider how their model handles both.
