In a survey U.S. Bank conducted with 1,000 small business owners across the country, 80% of business owners said they need digital solutions to help manage their payroll. Additionally, 81% said they prefer service providers who can bundle the banking, payments, and operations digital tools they need.*
“With U.S. Bank Payroll, we are making it easier for owners to manage their business,”
said Shruti Patel, Chief Product Officer, Business Banking, at U.S. Bank. “As small business owners use more software to run their operations, many are juggling multiple unconnected solutions which cost them excess time and money. With U.S. Bank Payroll, clients can manage their payroll right within their online banking dashboard, along with their banking and payments. It’s all seamlessly integrated.”
U.S. Bank partnered with fintech Gusto to build this solution within the U.S. Bank platform. Gusto is a leading small business platform for payroll, HR, and benefits.
"Through embedding Gusto’s payroll infrastructure directly into the U.S. Bank platform, we’re making it easier for small businesses to onboard, pay, and support their teams with confidence and compliance. This collaboration brings the power of Gusto’s technology to the broad customer base of U.S. Bank to serve more businesses where and when they need it most,”
said Tomer London, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Gusto.
