ShareBuilder Netchex Integration: What It Is and Why It Works

Last updated: August 2026

A small business owner finally decides to offer a 401(k) after years of hearing “we don’t have one” from job candidates, but the pricing and paperwork from bigger providers make the whole idea feel out of reach. That is exactly the gap ShareBuilder 401k was built to close, and it works even better when payroll is not another manual step in setting the plan up.

Here’s what ShareBuilder is, what Netchex is, and how the two work together to keep a small business retirement plan simple to run.

What Is ShareBuilder?

ShareBuilder 401k focuses on simplifying 401(k) setup, administration, and compliance with transparent pricing and modern tools. Their platform supports employers seeking a low-cost, easy-to-manage retirement plan with a participant-friendly experience.

What Is Netchex?

Netchex is a payroll and HR platform built for mid-market businesses with lean HR teams and hourly or deskless workforces. Instead of stitching together separate systems for payroll, time, HR, and benefits, Netchex brings them into one platform backed by real support, so HR teams spend less time on data entry and more time on their people.

How the ShareBuilder Netchex Integration Works

Netchex connects directly with ShareBuilder through an API integration built as a secure, two-way exchange of plan data. Payroll data, employee contributions, and eligibility details sync between the systems, which helps eliminate manual uploads and reduces the errors that come with re-keying data by hand.

• Automates payroll data sharing with ShareBuilder
• Eliminates manual file uploads between systems
• Reduces data entry errors for small HR teams
• Supports ongoing compliance for retirement plan administration

For a small business without a dedicated benefits department, that kind of automation is often what makes offering a 401(k) practical in the first place.

Why Netchex Is the Best Payroll and HR Solution for Companies That Use ShareBuilder

Employers who choose ShareBuilder are typically small or midsize businesses trying to offer competitive benefits without a heavy administrative lift. That same philosophy is exactly what those employers need from a payroll partner as well.

Netchex is ranked #1 on G2 for service, with a 98% customer satisfaction score and 90% of support calls answered by a real, US-based person in under a minute, which matters for small teams that do not have time to wait on hold when something needs fixing.

That combination of dependable technology and real service is why the average Netchex customer stays for 10 or more years, and why small and growing businesses using ShareBuilder choose Netchex as their payroll and HR system of record.
