Branch Launches “Branch Embedded” to Power Fast, Flexible Worker Payments Directly Within Platforms
Branch, the leading workforce payments platform, announced the launch of Branch Embedded, a new solution that allows businesses to seamlessly integrate fast payment options directly into their existing applications and platforms. By adopting Branch Embedded, businesses can accelerate their time-to-market, reduce engineering overhead, and unlock new revenue streams without the cost and complexity of building payments infrastructure from scratch.
Designed for vertical SaaS platforms, gig marketplaces, and other enterprise applications, Branch Embedded offers pre-built components that make it easy for businesses to deliver Earned Wage Access (EWA), 1099 payouts, and paycard options right from their existing platforms.
“Branch Embedded gives our partners the power to add a native payments experience in weeks instead of quarters,” said Atif Siddiqi, Founder and CEO of Branch. “By simplifying payouts and compliance, we help platforms delight their users, strengthen worker loyalty, and unlock new revenue opportunities. All without the heavy engineering lift.”
Branch Embedded addresses one of the biggest challenges facing growing platforms: whether to build internally or partner on payments infrastructure. Building and maintaining a custom payments system is costly, time-consuming, and requires significant compliance oversight. Branch Embedded handles the entire payment lifecycle including card issuing, fraud protection, disputes, and customer support, so businesses can focus on growth.
Key Benefits of Branch Embedded:
- Launch Within Weeks: Accelerate your roadmap with minimal engineering lift
- Save Time and Resources: Branch manages payouts, compliance, ongoing maintenance, and more
- Meet Demand: Elevate your platform with fast payout capabilities that today’s workers expect
- Unlock New Revenue Streams: Transform payments into a profit driver for your platform
Branch Embedded joins Branch’s award-winning suite of workforce payments solutions including the Branch App and Card, which feature a digital banking account and debit card; Branch’s White Label products, which offer custom branded payment solutions for businesses; and Branch Direct, which allows companies to make fast payouts directly to workers’ existing bank accounts. Branch powers fast, flexible payment options for both W-2 and 1099 workforces at the nation’s leading companies, including cashless tips and mileage reimbursement, earned wage access products, 1099 contractor payouts, off-cycle payments, paycards, and direct deposit options.
Branch Embedded is available today for companies looking to quickly implement secure, scalable embedded finance capabilities. For more information, visit https://www.branchapp.com/solutions/branch-embedded-finance.
