Apron Payroll makes it easy to pay your team—whether they’re salaried employees, freelancers, or contractors—without switching between your bank and spreadsheets for each payment.
You’ll still prepare your payroll the way you do today (in your accounting software or a spreadsheet). But when it comes time to actually send the payment, Apron saves you a ton of time.
Why use Apron?
Upload your payroll file, any format
CSV, XLSX, TXT, BACS, FPS — whatever your software exports, Apron can handle. Just upload your file and we’ll read it automatically.
Schedule payroll in advance
Set the payment date, and we’ll make sure your team gets paid on time. Approve everything ahead of payday—we’ll handle the rest.
Pay directly from your business account
No wallets or top-ups. Payments go straight from your bank account to your team and are reconciled automatically in your accounting software.
Smooth out approvals
Approvals are easy with Apron. Anyone on your team can set up a payment for someone else to review, approve, or pay.
Enterprise-grade security
Apron is designed to keep your data and money safe. Learn more about our security practices.
