Speed up, simplify and take the pain out of reconciliation.

Seamlessly connect banking and accounting tools

Relay’s direct sync with QuickBooks Online and Xero doesn’t break and it doesn’t skip or duplicate transactions. You will see the most up-to-date and accurate banking data every time you log into QuickBooks Online or Xero.

Don’t waste time deciphering transactions

Clean, standardized vendor names and auto-categorization for all card purchases
A reason for payment for all outgoing payments
Check images directly embedded into deposit transactions

Unified business banking and payroll

Relay’s Gusto integration meaningfully connects banking and HR platforms to help you stay on top of your payroll.

Never, ever miss a payroll cycle

To help you—and your team members—steer clear of the grief of a missed payroll, you will be alerted two weeks before a scheduled payroll if insufficient funds will cause the transaction to fail.

Get thorough payroll transaction data

Stop wasting time trying to decode payroll payments. Relay’s transaction data specifies payroll cycle and debit type (like net salary, tax deduction, reimbursement payments). And you’ll also see the recipient and payment method for all contractor payments.

Instantly add team members from Gusto

Import your team members from Gusto into Relay for super-speedy bank account provisioning. Assign each imported team member role-based user permissions so they can securely help out with day-to-day money management (like paying the bills) and get access to debit cards.
