Zenefits could simply implement ACH themselves, as ZenPayroll has.

ADP is not a monopoly.

Zenefits built a model that vaguely value adds onto ADP by using a more modern web stack.

I'm no huge fan of ADP, but they're being generous to even consider themselves to be competing with Zenefits.

The word "simply" does not belong in the same sentence with "implement ACH".

Signed,

Someone who worked on ACH for nine years.

ps: I'm pretty sure they're trying to do just that. But you have to consider just how incredibly difficult ACH is - not just from a coding perspective, but from a regulatory perspective. Banking and accounting legal entities need created.

pps: ADP knows good and well that Zenefits is working on their own ACH implementation with their buckets of cash. This is a preemptive strike.
