The Standard Netchex Integration: What It Is and Why It Works

Last updated: August 2026

An HR director renewing the company’s disability and life insurance policies through The Standard asks almost in passing whether the same provider handles retirement plans too. It is a fair question, since many employers would rather manage fewer vendor relationships, but combining benefits only works smoothly if payroll data reaches each of those providers without extra manual steps.

Here’s what The Standard is, what Netchex is, and how the integration between them supports that retirement plan side of the relationship.

What Is The Standard?

The Standard offers employer-sponsored retirement plans that combine investment options, recordkeeping, and participant services. Their solutions emphasize stability, compliance, and long-term planning for plan sponsors.

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 The Standard Netchex Integration Works

Netchex connects with The Standard 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 reduce manual data entry and supports consistent retirement funding.

• Transmits payroll data efficiently to The Standard
• Reduces manual entry for HR teams managing the plan
• Supports consistent retirement funding each pay cycle
• Supports ongoing compliance for retirement plan administration

For employers already consolidating insurance and financial products with one provider, that same convenience can extend to how payroll and retirement data move together.

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

Employers who choose The Standard for retirement benefits often value stability and long-term planning across their whole benefits stack. That same reliability should extend to payroll, since it is the system feeding accurate data into every other benefit.

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, giving HR teams a dependable partner on the payroll side of that equation.

That combination of dependable technology and real service is why the average Netchex customer stays for 10 or more years, and why employers focused on stability through providers like The Standard choose Netchex as their payroll and HR system of record.
