Walmart-owned digital banking platform OnePay is reaching more customers through its new partnership with Workday Wellness
The New York-based company has become a Workday Wellness partner for financial benefits. Under the agreement, Workday Wellness will integrate OnePay services with Workday Wellness to allow employers to bring OnePay’s banking, investing, credit building and other financial tools into the Workday experience.
Workday Wellness is owned by Workday, an enterprise AI platform for managing people, money, and AI agents. The company’s tools are used by more than 11,500 organizations across the globe, including more than 65% of the Fortune 500.
Workday Wellness offers employers a real-time view of which benefits their employees actually use and advises them on how to improve their offerings. Bringing OnePay’s financial tools into that experience will move financial wellness from a passive benefit to an embedded part of the employee experience, making it easier for workers to take action in real time and for employers to drive measurable engagement.
“Financial stress doesn’t disappear at the office door. Employers today know that when their employees stress about their finances, it directly affects their business. We’re partnering with Workday to bring comprehensive money tools into the systems employees already use every day,” said OnePay Chief Commercial Officer Thomas Hoare. “These tools are designed for simple rollout by employers and ease of use by employees, with the goal of helping people reduce stress and make real progress.”
For OnePay, embedding its financial tools within Workday Wellness will offer an advantage because it will meet end consumers where they already are within payroll, benefits, and HR. For employers, the integration helps close the gap between offering financial wellness benefits and actually driving usage by making financial wellness tools more visible, accessible, and actionable.
The partnership will also bring Enhanced Direct Deposit Switching (EDDS), a tool that allows employees to instantly set up or change payroll deposits within their employer’s platform. EDDS eliminates the need to manually add routing account numbers, accelerates financial onboarding, improves security, and enables instant switching of paycheck destinations.
On the surface, Workday Wellness and OnePay are offering EDDS to provide a smoother sign-up and paycheck allocation process. For OnePay, however, facilitating the process of direct deposit switching will help it onboard new customers and increase the amount of deposits of its existing clients.
“Financial wellbeing has become a strategic priority for employers,” said Workday Global Vice President, Partner Strategy & Growth Saqib Sheikh. “Welcoming OnePay into Enhanced Direct Deposit and Workday Wellness helps our customers provide a more holistic financial journey for their employees. Our upcoming direct deposit tools cut through the red tape, aiming to make it easier for employees to send their paychecks where they need them to go to help build a more secure financial future.”
