Is it safe to connect my payroll account?

How we keep your payroll login secure and what we can and can't see.

Yes. Connecting your payroll to Rent Butter is safe, and we never see or store your payroll login.

How the connection works

We use Pinwheel, a service that securely connects to hundreds of payroll providers. When you log in, your username and password go directly to Pinwheel β€” Rent Butter never sees them.

Pinwheel then gives Rent Butter read-only access to the pay information needed to verify your income. That's it.

What we can see

  • Your recent pay stubs

  • Your employer name and start date

  • Your pay rate, hours, and earnings totals

What we cannot do

  • We cannot change your direct deposit or any payroll settings

  • We cannot see or store your payroll login

  • We cannot see other employees or company-level data

What happens after verification

The payroll connection is one-time. Once we've verified your income, we don't have ongoing access to your payroll account. Your login was never stored, and Pinwheel doesn't keep checking your account for us.
