Professional Employer Organizations

SouthState’s PEO platform is backed by scale, speed, and proven performance. From underwriting ACH lines to navigating emergency overage approvals, our bankers know the intricacies of the industry. We don't just support operations, we accelerate your business's growth by offering extended processing windows, direct access to decision-makers, and much more. As one of the top ACH originators in the country, to partner with SouthState means gaining a strategic ally that delivers a banking engine built to match the operational intensity of your PEO.

We are continuously in discussions to better understand and serve the industry. In order to do so, we attend nearly every industry event related to PEOs.  We sit on NAPEO committees, produce industry related content, and promote discussion among our customer base to identify best practices. Supporting the initiatives that matter most to you makes us uniquely suited to be your bank of choice.   

Our value proposition focuses on the quality and specific functionality of our service, not the price. However, we recognize the importance of competitive pricing. That in mind, we will continue to put our best foot forward in demonstrating our commitment to earning your business. The value provided by our people and PEO-specific platform will far exceed the cost savings we offer.

We know timing is critical in payroll and payments. That’s why SouthState offers ACH cutoff times up to 11 PM ET and wire deadlines up to 6 PM ET. Giving you the flexibility to meet deadlines and keep operations running efficiently.

Yes. At SouthState, relationships matter. We connect you directly with responsive bankers and decision-makers who can act quickly and provide the answers you need, without unnecessary delays.

Our platform delivers a Fortune 500–level banking experience, built to handle high-volume payroll and complex money movement. SouthState combines advanced digital tools with the stability of a well-capitalized, established bank.
