Rollfi

What Rollfi does

Rollfi is an API-first embedded payroll and benefits infrastructure provider that enables banks, vertical SaaS platforms, accounting firms, and fintechs to white-label or deeply integrate payroll capabilities under their own brand. Founded in 2021 by Kirubha Perumalsamy and Hakim Isa, the company originally focused on crypto payroll services before pivoting to embedded payroll after launching its initial product during the 2023 crypto bear market. In January 2025, Rollfi was acquired by Priority Tech Ventures, a unit of Priority Technology Holdings (NASDAQ: PRTH), and now operates as a division of Priority under the legal entity Priority Rollfi, LLC, headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia (2001 Westside Parkway, Suite 155).

The company's technology stack centers on a comprehensive suite of REST APIs covering the entire payroll lifecycle: company onboarding, employee onboarding, employer/employee portals, payroll processing, and webhooks (signed RS256 and unsigned) for real-time event transmission. Plaid integration handles employee bank account verification, while the underlying money movement infrastructure — Priority's Commerce Engine and Passport platform — provides connections to 20+ Tier 1 and Super Regional banks backed by nationwide Money Transmitter Licenses. Rollfi offers three deployment models (White Label with zero developer resources, Walk embedded UI, and Run full API) and handles federal, state, and local payroll tax compliance across all 50 states for W-2 and 1099 workers, plus benefits administration as a broker for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance through in-house advisors.

Rollfi's revenue model combines subscription-based platform fees with per-employee charges, with industry-standard pricing in the $35-70 per customer per month plus $6-10 per employee per month range. Named customers span vertical SaaS platforms (TaaSPak/ERPsy in construction, Ease Practice in healthcare serving 500+ practices), accounting firms (FiveTax, Fiat Finance), and startup benefits clients (GAIL, Commenda, Ducky AI). With a team of approximately 10 people pre-acquisition and $3.25M raised in seed funding from On Deck and Fiat Ventures, Rollfi now operates within Priority's institutional infrastructure, positioning itself in the embedded payroll market that research indicates can lift platform ARPU by 40-50% and reduce payback from 5.7 to 2.4 months.

The pricing structure enables platforms to unlock new revenue streams by reselling or bundling payroll services under their own brand.
2. Benefits Administration Services: Rollfi acts as a broker for insurance benefits (medical, dental, vision, life) providing advisors for quoting, open enrollment, and ongoing employee support. Revenue likely includes commissions from insurance carriers and service fees for benefits administration.

Broad incumbents

• Justworks: Justworks is a PEO offering payroll plus benefits to SMBs and increasingly a technology platform; it overlaps with Rollfi on payroll/benefits administration and benefits-broker revenue.

Emerging players
