In their own words
Immediate
ImmediatePay is an employer-provided benefit that lets eligible employees access earned pay between paydays. Employees can view available earnings in the app and transfer funds to a bank account or debit card. Immediate says debit-card transfers may arrive in as little as 30 minutes, while ACH timing depends on the bank’s operating hours. It charges no interest and describes early wage access as having a small, nominal flat fee; access through merchant cards, paycard, and next-day ACH is free. Employers can offer cashless tips through their existing payroll process and push off-cycle payments for corrections, bonuses, rewards, tips, and termination pay. Those payments are reconciled against the next regular check date. Immediate lists payroll integrations including ADP Workforce Now, APS, BambooHR, Paychex, Paycor, Paylocity, TriNet, and UKG Pro, and says most new integrations can be completed in as little as two weeks. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web. Employees need an invitation and unique enrollment code from a participating employer to use ImmediatePay. The employer plan is listed as free, with no long-term contracts stated.
Payflow

Payflow says it connects to more than 60 HR and payroll systems and offers an API for employee updates and payroll transaction retrieval. The service lists Android, iOS, web and API access. Pricing is available on request. Payflow says implementation takes 3–4 weeks and advertises 24/7 customer service. It reports ISO 27001 and medium-category ENS certifications, EU-based AWS data centers, and 99% monthly availability under its SLA.
