Payments and Payroll Belong Together

Payroll is complex. Most payroll software providers master the painstaking, individual-specific calculations, but few take the final step to complete a payroll cycle — actually executing the payment themselves.

Say bye-bye to ABA Files

With the fiddly calculations done, most payroll providers send a finalised ABA file to their employer customers for a manual upload into their business bank account to execute the payroll transactions.

That might be OK for some, but what if a payroll provider owned the process from end-to-end including the instant verification of individual recipient bank accounts and the secure mechanism to push payments to those accounts? –– in real time too. Payroll transactions and reconciliation all in one!

With employer customers freed from endlessly repetitive payroll admin, talk about a payroll process game-changer.

Why bring payments in-house?

The power to edge out your competition by offering a service beyond what is standard now (ABA files). Take the lead with an all-inclusive payroll calculation and payment service, and reinvent customer experience in the payroll software industry.

With a Zepto solution, not only will payroll providers finally have the tech integrations they need to execute payroll payments, they can also offer their employer customers the ultimate in payroll agility.

With Zepto's API doing the payment orchestration heavy-lifting, payroll payments can be programmed flexibly. Think payroll on demand –– ideal for gig economy or periodic payments –– enabling employers to offer nimble payroll, even daily, based on business or employee preference.

This flexibility can elevate employee experience, giving employers an edge in a competitive job market.

The opportunity to monetise payroll payment-as-a-service. Remove the headache of repeated manual payments for your employers to create and retain happy employer customers.

In addition to employer customers no longer having to manually execute their payroll payments, Zepto’s built-in granular reporting makes ledger management and reconciliation a breeze, and even helps with forecasting of business cash flow.

Also, as payments executed by Zepto can be done in real time, employers don’t have to prepay or withhold large sums of cash reserved for paydays in advance, freeing capital up to be used flexibly.

PAYMENTS INNOVATION

What is PayTo?

PayTo is a modern, secure, digital account-to-account direct debit and credit solution developed by the NPPA, and backed by the RBA, as the new standard for seamless payment experience. Most Australian bank accounts will be PayTo-enabled in 2023. 

It will be possible with PayTo to fund large scale payments like payroll in just seconds without having to pre-fund a float account days in advance using slow, legacy methods like direct debit. The speed and timeliness of PayTo funds transfers can have a significantly positive impact on company cash flow.

Zepto is on the forefront of PayTo business solutions and our proprietary API combined with our Connected Institution status with the real-time rails of the NPP firmly positions us to innovate and deliver beyond basic PayTo solutions.
