Priority Technology Holdings (PRTH) announced a partnership with Axos Bank that will embed Rollfi’s embedded payroll and benefits technology into the bank’s commercial banking platform, allowing Axos’s business customers to manage payroll, tax compliance, and employee benefits directly within their banking interface.
The deal expands Rollfi’s reach into the small‑to‑mid‑market segment that relies on integrated financial services, giving PRTH a new revenue channel and a foothold in the banking sector. It also strengthens Axos’s value proposition by adding a comprehensive back‑office solution that can improve customer stickiness and deposit retention.
PRTH’s Q3 2025 results showed a 6% increase in net revenue and a 6% rise in adjusted EBITDA, with adjusted EPS of $0.28 versus the $0.30 consensus estimate. The company noted moderated growth in its Merchant Solutions segment due to macro‑economic headwinds, while Payables and Treasury Solutions continued to drive strong profitability. The partnership builds on this momentum by adding payroll and benefits to the Treasury and Payables stack, which are the company’s “stars” in terms of gross‑profit contribution.
Segment analysis indicates that Treasury Solutions and Payables are the primary profit drivers, while Merchant Solutions remains a cash cow. By integrating Rollfi’s API‑based payroll and benefits platform, PRTH can deepen its embedded finance ecosystem, offering a more complete suite of back‑office services that complement its existing merchant and treasury solutions.
Christian Santaniello, EVP of Axos Bank, said the partnership “advances our goal of providing modern, integrated solutions that make back‑office management faster, easier, and more efficient.” Kirubha Perumalsamy, founder of Rollfi, praised the collaboration as a step toward modernizing Axos’s commercial banking platform. Tom Priore, CEO of PRTH, highlighted payroll’s role in working‑capital optimization and how the Rollfi acquisition has accelerated cash‑flow benefits for customers.
For Axos, the partnership enhances its digital banking offering and positions the bank to capture a larger share of the growing embedded‑finance market. For PRTH, access to Axos’s commercial client base is expected to accelerate revenue growth and deepen the company’s presence in the banking sector.
Overall, the partnership positions both companies to capitalize on the broader trend toward embedded finance, potentially driving future growth and strengthening their competitive positions in their respective markets.
