Company profile
researched Aug 2026RemotePass operates a cloud-based global HR, payroll and spend management platform that lets companies hire, pay and support employees and contractors in more than 150 countries without establishing local legal entities. Its core modules cover employer-of-record (EOR) services, in which RemotePass acts as the local legal employer and handles local labour law, benefits and statutory taxes; contractor-of-record and contractor management with localized contract generation, compliance documentation and tax form collection; multi-country payroll with local tax compliance, multi-currency payments and consolidated invoicing; and compliance/HR tooling including expense tracking, time-off approvals, leave policies, equipment and device tracking, org charts and identity verification.
Alongside the workforce-management layer, the company embeds financial products. Workers use a mobile "super app" with a USD debit card, USD accounts, instant payouts, withdrawals in 90+ currencies to bank accounts, PayPal, Payoneer, Wise or crypto, automated invoice generation, automated tax collection and access to premium health insurance including dependent cover. For employers, SpendCards issue physical and virtual corporate cards with pre-set limits, real-time transaction visibility and automatic reconciliation, consolidating payroll, contractor payments and corporate spend into a single monthly payment run that syncs to ERP and accounting systems such as Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, Workday and BambooHR. The platform also offers AI features, including AskAI for querying HR and payroll data, an MCP connector for AI tools, and AI agents that automate onboarding, compliance and support workflows. Security and compliance credentials cited include SOC 2 Type II certification (secured October 2023) and GDPR compliance.
Founding story
RemotePass was founded in 2021 by Kamal Reggad and Karim Nadi. The company emerged as a pivot from a business travel platform during the COVID-19 pandemic, and was built out of Hub71, the Abu Dhabi technology ecosystem. Early backer Wamda Capital has publicly credited Reggad with executing the pandemic-era pivot.
Business model
RemotePass sells a subscription-style B2B platform combining global employment services (EOR, contractor-of-record, contractor management) with payroll processing and embedded financial products. Customers fund payroll through a single consolidated monthly invoice, and worker-facing products such as the USD card, payouts and health insurance sit on top of the same system.
Company materials describe per-worker service lines β EOR, contractor management, payroll runs, and corporate spend cards β billed through consolidated invoicing, plus embedded financial services (USD accounts, cards, health insurance) delivered to workers; specific pricing is not disclosed in the sources.
Traction
Company figures cite 150+ countries covered, more than 35,000 workers managed, 1,000+ companies, and over $1B in payments processed; the Series B announcement states more than 35,000 workers across 150+ countries and over $800 million in cross-border payroll facilitated. RemotePass reports a 4.8/5 G2 rating (500+ reviews on one page, 2.8k reviews cited elsewhere), 5/5 on Capterra, a Net Promoter Score of 76, profitability reached in early 2025, and recognition as a G2 Momentum Leader and High Performer in the Spring 2025 awards.
Latest developments
In late 2025 RemotePass launched SpendCards, embedding corporate expense cards into the platform that pays the workforce, and rolled out AI agents automating onboarding, compliance and support. On 20 May 2026 it announced a $17.4M Series B led by EBRD Venture Capital with 500 Global and existing investors Oraseya Capital, 212 VC, Access Bridge Ventures and Khwarizmi Ventures, to be used for commercial expansion in Europe and the US, deeper compliance coverage, financial-product development and its AI roadmap.
βΈFull profile β market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
The company positions itself as a global employment and payroll provider with particular depth in emerging markets, especially the Middle East and Africa, and claims to have reached scale on a fraction of the capital raised by larger category leaders. Investors describe it as competing with incumbents that have limited reach in harder-to-serve geographies while expanding into Europe and the US.
Stated differentiators include combining EOR, contractor management, payroll and corporate spend in one payment run; an embedded fintech layer giving workers USD accounts, global cards and health insurance; in-house legal expertise in covered markets; emerging-market coverage where entity setup, compliance and banking infrastructure are difficult; and early investment in AI agents and AI data access (AskAI, MCP).
Technology
A cloud-based platform spanning onboarding, contracts, payroll, compliance and payments, with multi-currency and stablecoin/crypto payout rails, card issuing, ERP and accounting integrations (Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, Workday, BambooHR), an immutable audit trail, a worker mobile application, AI agents for onboarding, compliance and support, an AskAI natural-language query layer over HR and payroll data, and an MCP interface for connecting external AI tools to workforce data.
Go-to-market
Direct sales supported by demo bookings and a self-serve "Start Free" entry point on the website, customer case studies, referral offers, dedicated customer success managers with named CSMs and enterprise SLAs, plus content marketing through country and EOR guides. Software review platforms such as G2 and Capterra are used as social proof.
Companies with distributed or cross-border workforces, from startups to large listed enterprises, and the contractors and full-time remote workers they employ. Named customers include Logitech, Tata Group, InDrive, Careem, Spotify, Paymentology, Valmont, Moniepoint, Pemo, Infomineo, Grubtech, Rizek, Eyewa, Amwal, Lean, Alma Health and NasDaily.
Geography

Payouts are supported in 90+ currencies.
History
After the 2021 pivot from business travel to remote-work HR and payments, RemotePass raised early capital from BECO Capital, Wamda Capital, Plug & Play and Flat6Labs. It obtained SOC 2 Type II certification in October 2023, was named a G2 Top 100 Fastest Growing Software Product in February 2024, and closed a $5.5M Series A led by 212 VC announced in March 2024, taking total capital raised past $10 million; at that point it had 55 staff and served over 360 businesses in 50+ countries. The company reached profitability in early 2025 and then chose to reinvest in growth. In late 2025 it launched SpendCards, and in May 2026 it announced a $17.4M Series B led by EBRD Venture Capital to fund expansion in Europe and the US.
