FAQ

How are payments processed?

Papaya has advanced in-house payroll payment capabilities. We hold five money transfer licenses and adhere to strict regulations in all major markets. We built payment rails optimized for payroll payments through our banking partnerships with top-tier banks, allowing us to guarantee 100% accurate payments that are processed in 72h at most.

CloudPay promotes several payment solutions on its website, but it is not licensed and regulated to transfer funds across borders on its own. As a result, their solutions are outsourced to third parties. CloudPay does not choose which payment rails are used to delivery your payments and cannot offer the same transparency as Papaya over the payment process.

Which platform is best suited to support my entire global workforce?

Papaya is a single payroll and payments solution that covers your complex workforce needs, supporting all and any combinations of payroll, EoR and contractors, so your company can achieve your global employment goals in over 160 countries.

Unlike Papaya, CloudPay does not support that many locations. In addition, even though there’s notice that CloudPay recently launched an EOR offering and supports contractors through payrolls, there is no information about standalone EOR and contractors’ services available on CloudPay’s website.

If you want to manage payroll for your entire global workforce in a single place, regardless of type of employment or having entities in different countries, Papaya is best suited for your needs.

Can I keep my payroll partner network when adopting a payroll platform?

With Papaya, you can use our network of trusted ICPs and certified payroll providers or keep your existing partnerships. The choice is yours. You never have to rip and replace your network in order to upgrade your payroll technology. You can simply license our payroll and payments platform, Papaya OS.

How long does it take to implement my payroll solution?

Papaya platform’s implementation can be completed in 2 to 4 weeks and comes with full support from Papaya’s customer success team and local experts in each country. You don’t need to overhaul your current operation and can seamlessly integrate your existing providers into our solution.
