Finch Launches Benefits API, Unifying Enrollment Data with the Industry's Broadest Payroll Coverage

New product brings plans, enrollments, and dependents into Finch’s unified employment API, starting with ADP Workforce Now and Workday

Finch, the unified API for payroll, HR, and benefits, announced Early Access to Finch Benefits, giving insurance carriers, third-party administrators, and benefits technology platforms programmatic access to employee enrollment data from Human Capital Management (HCM) systems. The launch extends Finch’s coverage of 250+ payroll and HR systems to include benefits administration as well. The new API is available today for ADP Workforce Now and Workday, with more providers arriving through the 2027 Open Enrollment season.

Finch Benefits is the first unified API that can both read benefits enrollment data and write deductions and contributions back to payroll.

The benefits ecosystem still runs on manual data plumbing: CSV uploads, EDI feeds, and SFTP drops. These batch cadences leave carriers, TPAs, and benefits tech platforms making claims and eligibility decisions against data that is often weeks out of date. But building API integrations with individual vendors can cost millions of dollars and take years to complete. Finch Benefits replaces those manual feeds with one employer-authorized API connection.

“Every carrier, TPA, and benefits platform we work with is trying to solve a similar challenge: find a faster way to onboard clients and act on their data before it goes stale,” said Jeremy Zhang, CEO of Finch. “Combining benefits enrollment with the payroll coverage they already trust us for is the closest this industry has come to a single source of truth for employment data.”

A first for the unified API category

Finch Benefits is the first unified API that can both read benefits enrollment data and write deductions and contributions back to payroll. That closes a loop the industry has historically run through disconnected file feeds. With one connection, a platform can surface an employee’s coverage, verify their dependents, and adjust the paycheck line item that funds their plan.

The shift matters in categories like insurance, where connectivity is a key driver for deals.

“We’ve heard from our top sales executives that it’s not the rates that sell our coverage or even our products anymore. There’s not that much differentiation. Life insurance and disability coverage, those things are somewhat standard. So it’s really who can connect, who can do it well, who can exchange their data and make it smooth and easy for their HR team,” said Sherri Bycroft, Director of Benefit Technology Relationships at Prudential.

Jeet Mukerji, CEO at Kinfolk, shares more about the platform’s recent funding and what’s making waves in modern HRtech in this Q&A with HRTech Series:   _________ Hi Jeet take us through the story and journey behind Kinfolk and tell us about your recent funding? My co-founder Kim and I never set out to start an “HR tech” company. We were just interested in answering: “how do you help people do their best work, and remove the day-to-day friction that gets in the way. Every company has it. Leave requests, payroll questions, policy lookups, access issues, employment letters, updating information. Small things individually, but constant, and it really adds up as a company grows. We started noticing this pattern when we were both managers ourselves. The same kinds of questions and operational tasks kept surfacing. And when we spoke to HR leaders, we heard the same thing again and again: huge amounts of time going into coordination work – preventing that team from doing what th...
