My Digital, a leading provider of cloud-based payroll software for the temporary workforce, has launched My Digital Payroll, a new solution designed specifically for contractor payroll companies looking to expand into the payroll bureau space.
With the UK’s payroll bureau sector servicing nearly 12 million permanent employees, it presents a significant growth opportunity for umbrella firms currently focused on the 660,000-strong contractor market. As employers increasingly seek simplicity, cost-efficiency, and reliable payroll operations, many contractor payroll companies are now looking to diversify—building resilience by broadening their client base.
My Digital Payroll allows contractor payroll firms to run both umbrella and bureau payroll operations within the same intuitive platform—no need for separate systems or complex workarounds. With seamless switching between payroll models, built-in compliance capabilities, and cutting-edge AI tools that automate time-consuming data imports, payroll teams can operate with maximum efficiency and minimal admin.
“Over the last decade, we’ve cemented our position as a leader in payroll software for the temporary workforce,” said Daniel Moss, CEO of My Digital. “The launch of My Digital Payroll marks the next step in our growth strategy—entering the wider payroll market with a product designed for diversification. Many of our existing clients have already seen the benefits of expanding into payroll bureau, and we’re proud to support them with a solution that combines innovation, reliability, and ease of use.”
Early adopters of the new platform are already seeing measurable success.
“With My Digital Payroll, we seamlessly expanded our service offering to include payroll bureau, driving growth and diversification,” said Brendan D’Souza, CFO at Bar2. “Expanding our services was a great decision to offset risk and create new revenue streams, and My Digital’s all-in-one system enabled us to run an efficient operation, seamlessly managing both umbrella payroll and payroll bureau services.
“Our staff can now effortlessly handle all payroll types within the same trusted system. With My Digital’s innovative technology and reliable support, we feel confident in scaling our business for the future.”
Designed specifically for umbrella businesses entering the bureau market, My Digital Payroll supports a blended workforce model, enabling payroll providers to serve both contractors and permanent staff from a single platform — opening up new markets.
