Rise supports teams operating across 190+ countries, with new markets continuously added as clients scale. Global Payments Built for Speed and Flexibility Rise's payment infrastructure enables companies to pay workers globally in local currency, stablecoins, or crypto with greater speed, transparency, and cost efficiency than traditional international payroll systems.

Over 50% of worker withdrawals on Rise are made in stablecoins, a signal of where global payroll is heading. Finance, HR, and operations teams get a single dashboard for contract management, onboarding, tax documentation, global payments, localized compliance automation, audit logs, and Rise ID, which is an identity framework built to reduce fraud and simplify cross-border hiring. No stitched-together tools. No manual reconciliation. One system that scales with your team.
