Setting Up International Payments with Papaya Global

Papaya makes paying both your international employees and contractors simple on their platform.

1. Provide the required information: Once you have an account and are all set up, you’ll have to provide details on each global team member, including their personal information and local banking information. Papaya’s platform will then use this data to tailor the payroll infrastructure to suit the needs of each location.
2. Final payroll calculation: Papaya will then send you your final payroll calculation for approval and then another request for funding after that. You’ll then fund your account, and the platform will convert those funds into the required local currency if needed. While you can only fund salary payments in 7 currencies, Papaya supports over 100 payout currencies.³
3. Send payments: Papaya then uses its automation technology to take care of everything from currency conversion to processing the actual transaction through secure banking networks.

Papaya Global’s standout feature is its compliance with tax laws and local labour laws, which you can see with their Countrypedia – a place where you can view details on how to stay compliant in every country.⁴ Through its integration with local in-country partners, businesses won’t have to worry about maintaining compliance with tax laws and banking regulations.
