Galileo Financial Technologies, LLC, a leading financial technology company owned and operated independently by SoFi Technologies, Inc., last month announced the launch of Galileo Direct Deposit Switch. Powered by Atomic, the infrastructure provider for connecting with payroll accounts, Galileo's Direct Deposit Switch functionality gives the company's fintech clients an opportunity to better serve consumers by offering faster access to their wages and a more streamlined approach to redirecting part or all of their paychecks into a financial services accounts of their choice.
With Galileo Direct Deposit Switch, customers can quickly and easily set-up and update their payroll direct deposit information, specify how much of their wages to deposit in their accounts, create accounts for specific purposes, including a vacation or education fund, and make recurring deposits to multiple accounts. The new financial feature also eliminates processing delays, gives users peace of mind by instantly verifying requests, and empowers workers with greater control over where they route their funds.
Approximately 93% of U.S. consumers receive their paycheck by direct deposit. However, the direct deposit experience is laden with manual friction that commonly occurs during onboarding when workers join a new employer or request to update their disbursements, such as changing their primary account on file or splitting their paycheck routing across two or more accounts.
"Recent Galileo research shows people are keeping money in more accounts, and they want fast, flexible ways to move and manage their money," said David Feuer, Chief Product Officer at Galileo. "We are proud to partner with Atomic to help our bank and fintech clients simplify direct deposit onboarding, drive higher customer lifetime value and boost access to financial services that will enhance everyone's financial future. As we continue to accelerate digital banking, Galileo Direct Deposit Switch will be the best way to drive value for our clients' ledgers."
"For financial institutions and fintech firms, a steady deposit stream is key to account profitability. These benefits extend to businesses as they look to leverage digitized and automated direct deposit payroll processes that present enormous financial opportunities," said Lindsay Davis, Head of Markets for Atomic. "Clients leveraging payroll connectivity solutions, such as direct deposit switching, have seen as high as a 3-4X lift on direct deposit acquisition when benchmarked to other solutions."
Galileo Direct Deposit Switch is available for most top employers and incumbent payroll providers, bespoke enterprise solutions, modern HR tech providers, gig-economy platforms and government systems via Atomic's network of payroll coverage. To learn more about embedding this financial feature as part of a broader approach to eliminating friction, activating newly onboarded clients and giving existing customers simpler options for directing their payroll funds, download Galileo's new resource, The Payments Growth and Activation Playbook.
From a recent BloombergLaw article: "A 2021 study shows that more than 50% of loans to Black-owned businesses under the pandemic's Paycheck Protection Program came from fintech lenders-doubling such lending executed from manual-process small banks. The improvement is easy to understand. Automation can empower smaller lenders, increase financial inclusion, and reduce reliance on payday lenders."
AI tools can tap into a cache of data not used in traditional credit reports to create more accurate risk assessments essential to obtaining credit and other financial services.
As many indicators point to a possible recession ahead, Fintech companies may provide some much needed lending and support solutions for both small businesses as well as their consumers which could be a great thing for this market segment as well as individual financial freedom.
