At Branch, we’re always thrilled when we get to join an organization that’s committed to advancing their industry and helping support the people who make up its workforce. Today we’re proud to announce that we’ve officially joined the American Staffing Association (ASA)—the leading voice of the staffing, recruiting, and workforce solutions industry.

ASA and its state affiliates work to advance the interests of the staffing industry through advocacy, research, and education. Becoming a member of ASA is a reflection of our commitment to empowering staffing firms with better, more efficient payments solutions—ones that help them retain talent, reduce costs, and improve the lives of their workers. 

The Importance of the U.S. Staffing & Recruiting Industry

The staffing and recruiting industry is a $161 billion industry, and plays a crucial role in connecting millions of workers with job opportunities across the U.S. But for many staffing firms, paying workers efficiently remains a challenge. Delays in traditional payroll cycles, costly check-cashing fees, and outdated payment methods can create unnecessary friction, leading to frustration for both staffing firms and their workers.

By joining ASA, Branch is bringing our expertise in fast, flexible payments to the broader staffing community, working alongside industry leaders to address the unique payroll and payment challenges staffing firms face today.

How Branch is Changing the Way Staffing Firms Pay Workers

Staffing firms know that speed matters—both in placing talent and in paying them. In today’s competitive labor market, firms that offer fast, flexible payment options have a major advantage in attracting and retaining top talent.

With Branch, staffing firms can:

✅ Eliminate Paper Checks & Reduce Costs – Say goodbye to expensive check-cutting, mailing fees, and costly ACH transfers.

✅ Streamline Payroll Operations – Branch automates the payment process, reducing administrative overhead and freeing up internal resources.

✅ Enhance Worker Satisfaction & Retention – Faster, flexible access to earnings keeps workers engaged, reduces turnover, and increases job satisfaction.

✅ Enable a Modern, Digital Payment Experience – Workers can access fee-free banking, a branded debit card, and mobile wallet options—giving them more financial freedom and flexibility.

Shaping the Future of Staffing & Workforce Payments

As a member of ASA, Branch is committed to helping staffing firms adopt smarter, more efficient ways to pay their workers. Whether it’s a modern paycard that comes with perks like cashback rewards and financial wellness tools; fast digital tip payments; earned wage access; or more, we’re here to help staffing firms achieve operational efficiency while improving their worker experience—all through fast, flexible payment options. 

We look forward to collaborating with ASA and other staffing leaders to make a positive impact on the staffing industry.
