Pinwheel offers payroll-powered financial infrastructure across five main solution pillars: deposit switching and banking primacy, income and employment verification, earned wage access, income insights, and payroll connectivity. Each solution is available through modular, SDK, or no-code deployment paths.

Pinwheel helps institutions grow deposits through direct deposit and bill switching, which reduce the friction consumers face when moving their paycheck and recurring payments to a new account — increasing account activation, funding, and the likelihood of winning banking primacy.

Direct-from-source income and employment verification gives lenders more accurate, real-time data than traditional documentation, supporting faster underwriting decisions and more confident lending across thin-file and non-traditional income profiles.

Pinwheel provides payroll and time-based earnings data that earned wage access providers use to verify how much a consumer has earned, enabling responsible, on-demand access to pay before the standard payday.

Pinwheel’s solutions are used by banks, community banks, credit unions, lenders, fintechs, and embedded finance platforms — each applying Pinwheel’s payroll connectivity toward goals like deposit growth, underwriting, or financial wellness.

Pinwheel differentiates through broad payroll platform coverage, FCRA-compliant consumer reporting agency positioning, and deployment flexibility spanning SDK to no-code — letting institutions of any engineering maturity launch payroll-powered solutions.
