IRIS Software Group Partners with Telleroo to Provide Faster Payroll Payments

The new integration allows businesses to optimize payment times and process payroll with increased flexibility and security

London, UK, October 8, 2025: IRIS Software Group (IRIS), a leading global provider of accounting, education, HR and payroll software and services, today announced a strategic partnership with Telleroo to bring Faster Payments to payroll. This collaboration provides a reliable, efficient and secure way for modern businesses to manage payroll, helping them improve cash flow and reduce the pressure of payment deadlines. As part of this partnership, Faster Pay will be integrated as a core feature of IRIS Payroll Services and available to its more than 5,500 customers, extending payroll submission deadlines by an additional two days.

The IRIS-Telleroo partnership replaces the three-day BACS payment cycle with almost instant Faster Payments, giving payroll teams an extra two days before submission deadlines. This eliminates the rigid time constraints of traditional payment methods, providing important flexibility for high-frequency payroll processing, last-minute adjustments, or end-of-year schedules such as Christmas. The result: increased operational efficiency, reduced risk and certainty of payment, while maximizing cash flow and maintaining complete security.

“In modern businesses, payroll teams don’t have to fight against antiquated payment methods that limit their flexibility,” said Stephanie Coward, Managing Director HCM at IRIS. “Our latest partnership with Telleroo eliminates the delays and pain points of the traditional payroll process, providing organizations with valuable time and control. This is an important step forward for operational efficiency, ensuring employees are paid accurately, securely and nearly instantly – every time.”

The partnership also introduces a robust suite of security and compliance features to increase visibility across payroll operations and prevent fraud, including:

• Financial level security to ensure safe and secure payment processing
• Improved accuracy with automatic error alerts to notify users when payee details are updated, also protecting against potential fraudulent activity
• Flexible approval workflow includes compatibility with the Telleroo mobile app, so approvers can sign payments on the go from a secure and trusted platform

Kayleigh Graham, Head of Partnerships and Growth at Telleroo, said: “Together, we help businesses reduce admin, reduce risk and ensure employees are paid on time, every time. Clients can approve payments wherever they are, giving them greater control and peace of mind. It’s about making payroll simple, secure and stress-free.”
