Frequently asked questions
What problem does Nivelo solve for payroll providers?
Nivelo addresses the risk and operational friction inherent in high-volume payroll payments. Its tools — Exposure Scan, Scorer Engine and Instant Debits — work together to identify potential fraud or non-sufficient funds before settlement, then auto-route transactions across ACH, wires, RTP and FedNow. For PEOs and ASOs, this reduces manual returns management and cash loss from failed payments.
Does Nivelo hold client funds or act as a payment processor?
No. Nivelo operates as a middleware infrastructure layer rather than a processor or custodian. It integrates with existing HCM and banking platforms via API to orchestrate and score payments, but does not appear to take possession of funds at any point in the transaction flow.
How does Nivelo's fraud detection differ from a bank's standard risk controls?
Nivelo builds risk models specific to payroll payment patterns — recurring, high-volume, time-sensitive disbursements — rather than general-purpose transaction monitoring. Its Scorer Engine adapts to historical client data, aiming to catch payroll-specific fraud and return threats that generic bank models may miss or flag too late for effective remediation.
Which payment rails does Nivelo support?
The firm's platform auto-routes across ACH, wire transfers, RTP and FedNow. This multi-rail design lets payroll providers optimize for speed and cost depending on the transaction, while Nivelo's risk layer applies consistent scoring regardless of the settlement path chosen.
Who are Nivelo's target customers?
Nivelo focuses on professional service organizations (PEOs) and administrative service organizations (ASOs) that manage payroll for multiple employer clients. These firms operate at scale and face concentrated risk from ACH returns, NSFs and fraud — exactly the pain points Nivelo's product suite is designed to address.
