About

Tapcheck is an earned wage access (EWA) company that has built its competitive moat through embedded payroll platform distribution rather than direct employer sales — partnering with major payroll software providers to offer EWA as a native feature within platforms that employers already use. The company has raised $225 million in total capital including a $200 million credit facility, and in April 2026 launched an embedded EWA integration with Paychex — one of the largest US payroll processors serving over 700,000 small and medium-sized businesses.
