Introducing PayTV^™: Real-Time Visibility into Employee Pay

If you’ve ever had to answer the question from an employee, “Why didn’t I get paid?,” you know how painful the black box of payroll processing can be. You’re expected to guarantee something you can’t actually see. And for too long, that disconnect has left payroll professionals stuck between processors, banks, and employees – without the insight or data to respond with confidence.

At Chime Enterprise, we believe it’s time for that to change. That’s why today we’re unveiling PayTV™ at Payroll Congress to an audience of thousands of payroll professionals. PayTV is a purpose-built solution delivering real-time visibility into when an employee’s pay is available.

Avoiding uncertainty through better Payroll visibility.

PayTV, short for Transparency & Visibility, is designed specifically for payroll professionals. It’s the first tool of its kind to offer real-time confirmation of pay availability whether employees use Chime or another financial institution.

With PayTV, payroll teams can:

• Track when funds arrive – Instantly for Chime members, and with predictive estimates for others.

• Resolve issues faster – No more waiting or guesswork. Identify delays and errors early, without the back-and-forth between banks and processors.

• Respond with confidence – Use real-time insights to answer employee questions clearly and accurately.

We’ve heard time and again that payroll teams feel stuck in the dark when errors or delays occur. PayTV brings transparency to the moment of pay, helping payroll teams see what’s really happening and empowering them to take action when it matters most.

Why payroll needs this. Now.

Since 2015, tens of millions of employees have received early direct deposits across U.S. financial institutions. That innovation has introduced more variability into the timing of pay – and more risk for payroll professionals trying to keep up.

The solution isn’t to slow down or simplify innovation. It’s to equip payroll teams with tools like PayTV that let them stay in control and deliver a better experience for themselves and their employees.

We see this as an important milestone in our mission to support the payroll community, and it builds on the momentum we’ve already started.

Developing Payroll professionals is at the heart of what we do. 

Earlier this year, we launched 30x30™, an initiative aimed at establishing 30 Chief Payroll Officers by 2030, and aim to provide them with tools like our Early Direct Deposit Command Center delivering education and resources around evolving pay technologies.

PayTV is the next chapter. It’s available now at zero cost, and offered either as a standalone tool or integrated into Chime Workplace™, our financial wellness suite for employers.

At Chime Enterprise, our north star is clear: help every employee feel in control of their finances – and give payroll teams the visibility and support they need to make that happen.

If you’re a payroll professional tired of feeling stuck in the middle, PayTV was built for you. Reach out to our team to get started.
