Learn about the /pay-allocations endpoint.
  • A payroll account can have one or more pay allocation objects, which represent the bank accounts and/or cards that are connected with the payroll account. Pay allocation objects contain information like bank account details, card details, allocation type, and allocation values.
  • Argyle retrieves data a user has access to in their payroll portal. Some employers and payroll providers can fully or partially obfuscate information within a pay allocation (for example, account or routing number). In these cases, Argyle is only able to return the obfuscated values.
Argyle is PCI DSS Level 2 compliant. Learn more about security and compliance at Argyle here.
