The Partnership

Two Layers. One Featured Payout Partner Relationship.

Integration Depth

Direct payout rail to Branch

  • CHOICE → Branch payout rail — tips routed directly to an employee’s Branch wallet
  • Instant Pay — same-day delivery for tips earned that shift
  • Branch Card — no-fee debit card for instant access
  • Direct Deposit fallback — for employees who haven’t opted into Branch yet
  • Pay Type election — employees self-elect Branch as their CHOICE method
  • Audit trail — every payout timestamped, traceable to the shift
  • Fee model — no employee fees for tip payout via Branch
Commercial Relationship

Joint go-to-market across Branch accounts

  • Joint deployments — Branch + PDP shared customers in restaurants and retail
  • Coordinated implementation — one onboarding when Branch and PDP land at the same time
  • Joint customer success — named escalation paths on both sides
  • Verified integration — live payout rail; not a marketplace listing
How It Works

PDP pools → CHOICE routes → Branch delivers → Employee paid

Four steps, automated, every pay period.

1

POS & T&A data flow in

GratSync, SalesSync, and WageSync pull tip, sales, and labor data from your POS and time clocks — live, not nightly.

2

PDP pools & reconciles

150+ pooling rules run, Triple Ledger reconciles every shift, FLSA & state law applied automatically.

3

CHOICE routes to Branch

PayDay Portal’s CHOICE engine sends the day’s tip payout directly to each employee’s Branch wallet.

4

Employee gets paid, instantly

Funds land in the Branch wallet and on the Branch Card. Employees can spend, save, or transfer immediately.

What this actually changes

Three Branch-operator outcomes for retention and recruiting.

Same-day pay without changing payroll

Your payroll runs on its normal cycle. Tips that come through Branch land same-day — no separate pay run, no payroll reschedule.

Retention & recruiting story

Operators who offer same-day tip pay through Branch see measurable improvements in shift coverage and turnover. It’s a recruiting line on the door.

Audit trail end-to-end

Every Branch payout is timestamped and traceable back to the originating shift, the pool rule that calculated it, and the manager who approved it.
