Monoova, SuperAPI and Payroo launch one-click payroll and super solution
Monoova, SuperAPI and Payroo are launching a one-click payroll and super solution, as part of a joint strategy to ‘shake up’ antiquated payroll and superannuation industries dominated by legacy “clearing houses”.
With new wage theft laws in place which now classify underpayment of superannuation a criminal offence, the move aims to accelerate and simplify the introduction of these new compliance requirements that have been introduced by the Albanese Government to protect working Australians.
On top of the rising costs of operating, employers face falling short of their legal superannuation obligations because legacy payroll providers and superannuation clearing houses have not kept pace with the latest demands of Payday Super.
Monoova and SuperAPI’s offering ensures the employee gets paid correctly the first time, every time, by pre-validating employee and member details, thereby fulfilling the PayDay Super requirements for every employer from July 1st 2026.
Monoova’s partnerships with Payroo and SuperAPI represent a significant incursion into the payroll and onboarding industry – and comes at a time when the expansion of Monoova’s payments solutions are finding immediate market fit with every business’ need to shift to Payday super readiness.
“Australian employers and their payroll providers are facing a monumental change in the level of accuracy and compliance required of them under recent Payroll and Superannuation Theft laws. Being “PayDay Super ready” means payroll software requires a complete overhaul to ensure the funds arrive within the mandatory time frame,” said Christian Westerlind Wigstrom, Co-Founder and CEO of Monoova.
“PayDay Super isn’t simply a ‘payments problem’; this is a compliance and data-validation problem that doesn’t have an existing solution. By partnering with SuperAPI, we are able to provide HR and Payroll software providers with a compliant and automated payroll-onboarding and super-contribution experience.”
Hours-long processes reduced to ‘one click’
The partnership allows businesses to remit their payroll and superannuation in one click; a huge efficiency and accuracy gain. Currently, most businesses in Australia must use error-prone CSV or ABA files. Not only could this be a privacy and security concern, but the process’ unreliability could now come with serious consequences for businesses under the new PayDay Super laws.
“Staying up to date with the rapid changes to superannuation and payroll laws is a job on its own. We’ve been growing beyond our expectations largely because there isn’t enough being done by the incumbent technology providers in the sector to ensure businesses are equipped to meet the mark, even if those businesses have every intention of operating compliantly,” said Riley James, CEO and Co-Founder of SuperAPI.
“Payday Super is a big shift that will improve retirement outcomes for millions of Australians. For many businesses, it’s also a wake-up call. With super theft laws now enshrined within the payroll and super theft legislation, the old way of doing payroll can get employers of all sizes into real trouble.”
Payroo ‘key’ to Aussie partnership first
Payroo, a tech-first, cloud-based payroll solution purpose-built to help small businesses comply with Single Touch Payroll (STP) requirements, partnered with Monoova to provide one-click payroll to more Australian businesses.
“We wanted to keep things simple and all in one platform, while taking care of payroll complexity behind the scenes. Partnering with SuperAPI and Monoova to bring full-stack payroll infrastructure to more businesses just made sense,” said Thiya Reddy, founder of Payroo.
Payroo initiated its new partnerships with SuperAPI and Monoova simultaneously, creating a vital proof point for a SuperAPI and Monoova partnership as well as providing immediate benefits to the partners’ mutual clients.
“The solution we’re developing is really crucial. Growing super and payroll compliance requirements are directly translating to businesses absorbing more costs and risks while also trying to ensure their employees are being paid correctly and on time. It’s vital that Australian companies have access to the tools they need to succeed under increasingly difficult conditions.” says Reddy.
An integration with SuperAPI is already available for all Payroo customers, but the addition of Monoova’s involvement means that Payroo is one of the first Payroll providers in the market to offer “one-click” NPP Payroll payment, reducing time-consuming and insecure processes.
