The story

Founded 2014 in Lagos as a talent-employability social intervention, HRLeverage re-strategized into a B2B pan-African HR outsourcing, PEO and Employer of Record (EOR) provider now operating across 15+ African countries. The company is building a multi-currency payroll software product to embed workforce management and cross-border employee payments, but as of the evidence gathered has not disclosed any specific embedded finance vendors (BaaS, card issuing, FX rails).
