What the disclosures say
LendAPI
The income verification marketplace page lists Truv, Pinwheel, and The Work Number by Equifax as data providers for employment/income verification — these are KYC/underwriting data integrations, not payroll infrastructure LendAPI operates.
Perpay
Pinwheel case study (pinwheelapi.com) explicitly names Perpay: 'Pinwheel's paycheck linked lending solution removed friction from Perpay's customer journey, leading to increased conversion and repayment rates.' Perpay homepage confirms repayments made via payroll direct deposit.
Google Pixel
Pinwheel lists Google Pixel as a customer — Pinwheel is a payroll/income data connectivity platform (unified_apis.payroll_hris).
Lendly
The Pinwheel case study describes Lendly as 'an authorized servicer of a bank,' consistent with a bank-as-lender / servicer structure where Capital Community Bank is the originating bank.
