Branch, the leading workforce payments platform, announced the launch of Branch Embedded, a new solution that allows businesses to seamlessly integrate fast payment options directly into their existing applications and platforms. By adopting Branch Embedded, businesses can accelerate their time-to-market, reduce engineering overhead, and unlock new revenue streams without the cost and complexity of building payments infrastructure from scratch. 

Designed for vertical SaaS platforms, gig marketplaces, and other enterprise applications, Branch Embedded offers pre-built components that make it easy for businesses to deliver Earned Wage Access (EWA), 1099 payouts, and paycard options right from their existing platforms.

"Branch Embedded gives our partners the power to add a native payments experience in weeks instead of quarters," said Atif Siddiqi, Founder and CEO of Branch. "By simplifying payouts and compliance, we help platforms delight their users, strengthen worker loyalty, and unlock new revenue opportunities. All without the heavy engineering lift."

Branch Embedded addresses one of the biggest challenges facing growing platforms: whether to build internally or partner on payments infrastructure. Building and maintaining a custom payments system is costly, time-consuming, and requires significant compliance oversight. Branch Embedded handles the entire payment lifecycle including card issuing, fraud protection, disputes, and customer support, so businesses can focus on growth.
