First in Korean-American Banking Industry to Offer Leading Online Payroll Service

Hanmi Bank announced the launch of an online payroll service to help its small business customers through a partnership with SurePayroll, Inc., a Paychex company. Available through Hanmi’s online banking system, this partnership is the first in the Korean-American banking industry to provide comprehensive online payroll services to small business customers.

“We’re excited to partner with Hanmi Bank to help small business owners overcome the inherent challenges associated with payroll and focus more time on their businesses,” said SurePayroll Senior Vice President Rick Gunther.

“Hanmi is investing in technology to offer new and enhanced products and service that will bring added value to our customers,” said C. G. Kum, President and CEO of Hanmi Bank. “Online payroll service will provide our small business customers with the resources they need to operate their business efficiently, helping them to focus on growing their business.”

Business Online Payroll is a simple full-service online payroll service that allows Hanmi small business customers to quickly and conveniently process payroll online. Once enrolled, subscribers simply login then enter data, preview and submit payroll while the system automatically does the rest, including calculating employee wages and deductions, as well as paying and filing all federal, state and local taxes. Business Online Payroll also tracks employee benefits, and subscribers can pay employees either by direct deposit or manually by printing checks right in their office from the online system. The service also provides comprehensive online reports that are readily accessible to small business owners.
