JPMorgan Chase is stepping up its appeal to small business customers by planning to offer digital payroll processing, CNBC has learned.

The bank has picked San Francisco-based fintech player Gusto to provide the underlying technology for the feature, according to Gusto CEO Josh Reeves.

“If you’re a customer of Chase payments solutions, you can go to payroll from the same exact place you do banking,” Reeves said. “It’s the same experience, with the same login and credentialing; all that stuff becomes easier when it’s in a one stop shop-type environment.”

JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. bank by assets, has poured billions of dollars into technology in recent years. It’s part of a larger battle for the loyalty of American retail and business customers as fintech players including PayPal and Square morph into do-everything providers that threaten traditional banks. Both companies have their own payroll services.

JPMorgan has previously rolled out fintech features, including a Square-like credit card reader for small businesses and early direct deposit for consumers.
