Introducing Self-Serve Onboarding

We built Finch to unlock access to employment data and are committed to creating a best-in-class developer experience. Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of our self-serve sign-up, which makes it easy for innovative developers to get API keys and start evaluating the benefits of employment data for their product.

Connect to employment systems in minutes

For many developers looking to leverage employment data, it takes months to gain access and build integrations one by one. Even when those integrations are built, the process can still involve flat files, complex authentication, and mismatched data scopes. Finch condenses that entire process into a few days by unifying all employment systems through a single API with normalized data and permissions. In the end, your customers can sync their employment system with your product in minutes (though we’ve seen it happen in as little as 30 seconds).

Sign up to access our docs, sandbox, and dashboard

Now, instead of having to go through our sales team to access our API keys, we’ve overhauled our onboarding process, so you can start building in minutes. Getting up and running is easy and only takes three steps:

  1. Head over to the Get API Keys button on our homepage.
  2. Enter your contact and account creation information.
  3. Generate sandbox credentials.

In only a few minutes, you’ll have everything you need to start testing with Finch’s sandbox.

Once you’ve created an account, you’ll get access to our sandbox, which includes multiple test instances representing varying employer sizes, a dashboard with connections monitoring and audit logs, and documentation that sets you up for success.

Launching into production

Once you’re done testing out the platform and are ready to go to production with live customers, reach out to our team. We’ll make sure you have production keys and check all the boxes related to production readiness and compliance so that you can offer the best data-syncing experience to your customers.

Gain access to Finch today and supercharge your application experience with employment data.

Key Takeaways:
  • On average, 80% of participants default into their retirement plan, demonstrating that the majority of Americans aren’t actively engaged in their retirement planning — and highlighting the opportunity for recordkeepers to engage participants more directly.
  • Recent legislative changes and technological advancements represent a prime opportunity to get more individuals thinking about their financial futures and participating in the savings opportunities available to them.
  • Greater payroll connectivity provides recordkeepers with more comprehensive data, mitigating challenges introduced through file exchanges and arming recordkeepers with the up-to-date information they need to best support sponsors and participants alike.
